HTML Message Box (or something like that)

Another issue I run into all the time using the IDE to develop stuff that will eventually end up running on the server engine is that the "put" command without a destination is used to output to the browser in the server engine and to the msg on the desktop.

Since these, obviously, render things very differently it would be nice to have some way of redirecting the output of the put command without a destination to a browser on the desktop, whether that's through a browser control or whatever.

Unless there is a better way of doing this currently that I am not aware of.

Optimally, of course, there would be some kind of a client that would be connected to the server engine and allow me to debug scripts running on the server engine rather than using the desktop IDE & engine and copying scropts out later (since I always seem to have to make adjustments and run into strange errors and extra chars in DB query and shell results when I move from desktop to server) - I think there is something like that for the On-Rev server environment, but it is, as I recall, buggy and hasn't been updated in a very long time.
