In its current form ( the last time I checked ) the BlitzPlus console is fairly useless.

The main use for a console mode program would be to make various tools for use by other programs. These tools could then use standard I/O and redirection.

This means you could develop a program that writes output to the screen. If you run it from a command line with

myprog

the output would appear on-screen. But running the same program with

myprog >results.txt

would send the output to a file called results.txt.

But this functionality has not yet been added to BlitzPlus.
