IIRC, if you write to stderr, your messages will show up in the DXUI
Message window. Alternatively (and a better solution) is to use
DXMessage.
See the programmers ref or the dx header files for usage.
In the versions I'm working with (MacOS X and RH Linux), fprint to stderr
writes to the messages window, but I believe the output appears in bold
and
dings a bell. I recall seeing a warning somewhere in the DX docs long ago
saying to always use DXMessage if possible since only it will correctly
work in a multiprocessor environment. Don't know if that's still true.
