   Thanks, appreciate the fast reply. I've never used a 'console window'   
   before, but read:   
      
   "To open the Console, press Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows, Linux) or   
   Command+Option+J".   
      
   Can you amplify a little please? Starting with when and where I should   
   use that hotkey? In parallel, after lunch, I'll do some more thorough   
   googling about 'the console window'.
