Frequently asked quesitons

Blender 2.5

• Question: How can I write output to the console or to the info window?

  Answer: You can't write output to the info window or the console that appears in blender itself, but you can write to the system console. You can also create popups. You can probably also write to a text datablock. (fixme: write how to do this).
