I would like to open a window to print into while my program runs and displays graphics. I don't want to print to the screen. Is there a way to do this or do I need a special DLL? Thanks.

you could give the effect of a window by using set camera view to make the 3d display area smaller then printing on the bits not showing your 3d world

or print to a file and call notepad.exe "path\filename.txt" if db allows you to execute other programs, that is.
run your db program in windowed mode so both can be seen
