Under Windows (BCW), specify `-do' under Run|Debugger Arguments...

Under DOS (bc command), specify -do on the command line.

Running the DOS bc under windows, use the Program Manager's
File|Properties... dialog box or the pif editor to add `-do'.

For the debuggers td, td286, td386, add -do to the command line.

-do stands for `display other' meaning that the debugger interactions
will go to the secondary display subsystem while the program output will
appear on the primary display.

Definately!

Beg to differ.  Within the Borland development products, it works just
as well in DOS or Windows.  I personally prefer running even BC under
windows because of the better memory environment it seems to have there.
