The following code does not use the VCL.  It is used for both GUI and
console apps.  It works for console apps from within and outside of the
debugger; however, it only works for GUI apps from within the debugger...

   m_Handle       = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
   if (!m_Handle)
      {
      if (AllocConsole())
         {
         sm_oLogFile.WriteDebugEntry("Console window created
successfully",AMF_AF_LogFileC::DL_MINIMAL);
         m_Handle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
         if (!m_Handle)
            AMF_BaseC_REPORT_WARNING("Console window created successfully
but could not retrieve its handle!");
         }
      else
         AMF_BaseC_REPORT_WARNING("Console window could not be created!");
      }
