show-console

Arguments:

This function exists only on the Windows platform. On Linux and the Mac, Allegro CL and the IDE are typically started from a shell window or an Emacs buffer and that window/buffer serves the function that the console does on Windows.

Shows the Allegro console window if it exists and is currently hidden or iconized, and otherwise does nothing. See also hide-console.

(The console will not exist if the +c command line argument has been specified, such as in a project's standalone application when the "Enable Debugging of Runtime Errors" option has been turned off on the Build tab of the Project Manager dialog. Command line options are listed in Command line arguments in startup.htm.)
