If you want an additonal window from the OS to display OpenGL you also need a new OpenGL context. Have a look at PLIB as that's responsible for that in our case. Maybe you should also have a look at PPE (prettypoly.sf.net) as it uses PLIB and creates multiple windows. > We are using Jon's shuttle model for a landing simulation that we are > developing for the Challenger Center at the school.

Look at PLIBs PUI and create a new (permanet) PUI window that outputs the text. Should be quite easy.
