<h1>Console view</h1>

<p>This view shows the output of the execution of your program and  enables you to enter input for the program. 
<p><img border="0" src="../images/view_console.png" alt="Console View"></p>

The console shows three different kinds of text, each in a different color:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard output</li>
<li>Standard error</li>
<li>Standard input</li>
</ul>
<p>You can choose the different colors for these kinds of text on the preferences pages 
(<b>Window &gt; Preferences &gt; Debug &gt; Console</b>).
</p>

<h2>Console View Context Menu</h2>

<p>When you right-click in the <b>Console</b> view
(or when you press <b>Shift+F10</b> when the focus is on the <b>Console</b> view),
you see the following options:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>Edit options: Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All</dt>
<dd>These options perform the standard edit operations.
Which options are available depends on where the focus is in the 
<b>Console</b> view.
For example, you cannot paste text into the program output,
but you can paste text to the bottom of the file.
</dd>
<dt>Find/Replace</dt>
<dd>Opens a <b>Find/Replace</b> dialog
that operates only on the text in the <b>Console</b> view.</dd>
<dt>Go to Line</dt>
<dd>Opens a dialog that moves the focus to the line you specify.
The dialog also indicates the total number of lines in the console buffer.
</dd>
<dt>Terminate</dt>
<dd>Terminates the process that is currently associated with the console.</dd>
</dl>
