[fpc-pascal] Windows console

[Santiago A.]

Hello:

I have a little watchdog utility for windows that runs each five 
minutes, like a unix cron ("Tareas programadas" in Spanish, scheduled 
tasks?). It opened a console window for a second and that was very 
annoying. So I used the switch -GW and there is no more flashing console 
bothering. But then I can't show any help or any output for debug from 
the prompt.

I can live with it, in fact, it usually uses a log file, but some times, 
when I'm installing, testing paramters etc, it's more handy to run the 
program from the prompt and see the result immediately or display the 
help instead of having to open logs.

Is there any way to open a console on the fly and send the output to the 
console?
