Image showing the debug console in MS VBA

In MS VBA there is a very useful feature to quickly debug code. You can open the "Immediate Window" and use the command "Debug.Print" to quickly print to a debug console.

See attached image for an example of how it works.

So I propose we add to the Basic IDE a Console window to which programmers can print using "DebugPrint" calls.

Yes, an output window would be a useful improvement.
