The Output Console is a special window that is provided at the Virtual Machine (VM) Level. While the window opens inside the frame of the Operating System window in which Squeak is presented, it is not really part of Squeak. It is a feature controlled by the VM and therefore must be managed outside of Squeak. The Output Window is managed from a menu that is available from the outer frame of the OS window in which Squeak is running. New Squeakers will often ask I have gotten a white area at the bottom of the screen, how can I get rid of it?
