tlug: Error/status messages

[Neil Booth <NeilB@example.com>]

Another beginner's question.

When running under X, if I run some software and it emits errors or
messages, I don't see them until I exit X, and even then a lot tend to
have scrolled off the screen.

Is there a way to have an xterm instance running to which all such
output is directed, so I can see it while still being in the windowing
environment? Or something similar?

Hope my query is clear.

Cheers,

Neil.
