You might like to look at my TextView DLL, which is somewhere on
ftp.cica.indiana.edu. It basically manages a scrolling output window
for you, and you can write text with various options like timestamping
to it with a single API call. Other APIs allow you to clear it, etc, etc.

I wrote it originally as a real-time trace system for debugging, and there's
a sample app in the ZIP file that demonstrates it. I use it hugely for
buiding my PFE editor, and the ability to have a set of trace messages that
I can scroll back and examine at leisure is _very_ useful.
