Hi Bill, if you are on Windows anyway why not use the windows logging tools like dbmon.exe (available in the windows SDK or from [1]). I learned about it from Smalltalk MT and its a nice way to log/debug (see [2]). Download the above dbmon.exe tool and start it. Then open pharo and load FFI (by evaluating "ScriptLoader loadFFI"). Then file in the attached file and evaluate: Win32DebugConsole new outputDebugString: 'Hello' to log something to the console. It's a nice way if you run headless images.
