Apple stopped piping stdout/stderr to 'console' a few years ago I think 
- both on Desktop, and when looking at the device console for iOS.

In version 9.0 though we changed the behavior of `put` without a target. 
e.g.

    put "foo"

In the IDE this will output to the message box.

In -ui mode, this will write to stderr.

Otherwise (which will be the case on iOS / Android!) this will output to 
the system log
    - using NSLog on Desktop/iOS
    - using android.Log class on Android
    - using OutpuDebugString on Win32
    - using syslog on Linux
    - using JS console on html5

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
