Chris,
I do not know if that can be done from an existing application or from the
mapbasic window as one cannot work with files from it.
When writing an aplication that "must" print results to the message window
and if those are not related to the progress of the operations, I prefer
sending them directly to a text file then displaying the file.
'create a text file to receive the output (9 is any number you want)
c="text_output.txt"
open file c for output as #9
'write the results to it
print #9, "Something to write about"
'to view the results
run command "Run Program ""Notepad.exe"" & "" "+c+" "" "
Hoping this will stimulate more operationnal ideas.

I am sure that there is a way to send the results in the message window to a
text file, but cannot remember how to do it?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
