I think he's talking about the `System.out' (stdout in non-Java lingo) stream--In Netbeans, and you click run, the output box will start streaming stdout from the cRIO once it is done compiling.

Although, We have found that unless you need more than 21 columns per line (the physical size of last year's LCD), using the text area on the driver station is better for just about everything. If certain aspects of it are a pain, borrow our LCD.java from our code.

I was getting sick of the disabled loop spitting out endless lines of code, yet I wanted a way to tell if it was still reading from the cRIO. Not important though. I might look at it more in my spare time (as if I have any now).
Hey you don't need to explain the importance of a baton to me.
