We do some checks with following code:

code:

---

  IF setconsole("hide")
  ENDIF
  ? "show 1"
  console off
  IF RedirectOutput("con")
  ENDIF
  ? "should be invisible for users"
  console on
  ? "show 2"
  IF RedirectOutput("kix-info.txt")
  ENDIF
  ? "show 3 - output kix-info.txt"

---

We run different kind of runs:

• kix32c script.kix
  show 1
  should be invisible for users
  show 2
  
• kix32c script.kix -i
  show 1
  should be invisible for users
  show 2
  => the parameter "-i" doesn't have effects.
  
• kix32 script.kix
  => a console window will be opened
  
• kix32 script.kix -i
  => nothing happens on screen.
  => this shows the situation we wanted. only we want it for a part
  of the script.
  

By implementation of CONSOLE command we want to see

code:

---

show 1
show 2

---

With the CONSOLE OFF command:

• we don't need to change the kix32/kix32c call. no additional -i
  parameter is required.
  
• using it in the script will ensure us that no output will be generated
  to the screen.
  
• using it doesn't required a change of RedirectOutput or other settings.
  only all output to screen (= CON) will be suppressed.
