Only output eh? Why not output to a log file and then run a cmd window and tail the output file. Is there a tail command for Windows? I think you could download one.
Write to HTML then use IE7 and tabs to read that HTML. Put a meta refresh tag at top of each file and IE will reload. If you are using output only for status info then you have many options. Opening up a cmd window just to view text would be one but there are others. With HTML you can use style sheets to make your output look better than ASCII.
