I want to use the console for debug purposes and I also want to use the agk commands for the graphics in another window. Is there any easy way to do it in tier 2? No cross-platform compatibility is needed: it only needs to work on windows.

If you only need to print strings to the Visual Studio console, you can use the OutputDebugString function. Unfortunately, this doesn't support any printf like syntax so to use it to show variables etc., you need to create your string with sprintf or whatever first. If you need a true DOS console running in a separate window that you can output to though, then it's a bit more involved as you have to open one yourself.
