hmm, probably we are misunderstanding each other.
by "console" i meant the DOS-box (p<=0.37); with "tk-window" i meant the 
built-in console in pd>=0.38. i chose "tk-window" just because of this fuzz.

when you start the DOS-box (Alt-r "cmd") and _then_ start the pd-console 
(or pd.com or whatever), then the DOS-box will not go away when pd crashes.

i would second this as _another_ option.
i think writing to a file is somewhat slower than writing to the stderr.


so i would suggest having the option of running pd either in "windowed" 
mode or in "console" mode; as an option, the output should be written to 
a log-file _additionally_.
