Print to DriverStation

The Message Tab section on HERE wpilib.screenstepslive the Drivers Station Message box New for 2016 - This window will display prints from WPILib and User Code. I been milling through many OLD post on how to use the DriverstaionLCD class that seems not to exists since 2013? What I did find if I place a simple line of code in the program

System.out.println("Hello From the Rio"); //Print to RioLog

this prints to the RioLog witch is grate for debugging. If you select the Option Icon On the Driver Station and check + Prints] these messages are displayed here to. Great to tell you drivers what is going on.

To add a bit of extra info, in C++:

std::cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;

also works. (At least for our drive station)
