I use "write <val> to stdout", especially when sneaking up on a crash.  
It goes to the console.

You might want to make a custom command that checks an error reporting 
level and the environment and decides which methods to use (message 
box, dialog box, stdout or a combination).

I don't know where it goes when an application is double-clicked.  I 
have used stdin and stdout when running a gui-rev from a command line, 
but it was very buggy and IIRC ran into the classic Revolution 
ambiguity of empty and end.  I think I was told that use of stdin and 
stdout in that manner was not appropriate use of Revolution.
