#CONSOLE metastatement 

Purpose

Enable or disable auto-creation of a console window upon execution of the program.

Syntax

#CONSOLE [ON|OFF]

Remarks

#CONSOLE OFF can be used to create a program which doesn't need to output a visible result to the screen.

Restrictions

Without a console window attached, do not use commands that expect keyboard input, such as CON.WAITKEY$, CON.WAITSTAT, CON.INPUT, or CON.INKEY$.  With no console from which to acquire input, these commands will simply lock up your program.

#CONSOLE ON|OFF must precede all executable code.  If #CONSOLE is omitted, the default condition is #CONSOLE ON.
