Hi Karl,
The feature is very promising.
It would be more than useful, I think it would strike the imagination of new potential user if I/whoever would show it in a video.
Consider this, in all other languages to keep an eye on a silly variable the fastest way is to print in stdout. This is something that Typing Joe did thousands of times.
It is extremely ugly and messy. I keep printing in Transcript myself and I dislike it. I do only because it is fast to implement.
If you are working on it let me know when you have reached a landmark. I may illustrate the feature in a new video.
bye
Nicola
