This option doesn't seem to change anything. What does it do?

Shouldn't make any difference when running from the IDE, but running a non-GUI executable on its own should open up a command line window to display Print/Input statements etc. whereas a GUI one won't.

Thanks - makes a world of sense now :)

One of the many mistakes I made today in learning more about BMax was turning the option off thinking it was something to do with the GUI expansion and then wondering why - when I compiled on a Mac rather than PC - I had no keyboard control over my application... We live and learn :).
