Please don't be embarrassed. I (sincerely) have a lot of respect for anyone who attempts to debug on Windows! Hopefully someone else will give a more informative reply regarding the command window, but you can alternatively get useful information if you go to View > Messages Pane. You can make the same settings as you do with the -dbg option. for example, you can click on the "Settings" tab in the Messages Pane, and choose which messages you want to appear. In the "Output" pane, note that you can right-click and do "Select All" to paste into a separate text file. I'm guessing you already knew this, but sometimes I forget about this option, so in case it is anything urgent, I described it here. Best, Scott
