This may be a retarded question, but when one adds the following line to a POV
script, and then presses Run, where does the text show up?  It isn't in the
messages window, so what am I missing?

#debug concat("hello", " world")

It goes to the messages window (Alt M), but it can
be easy to miss, since there are other standard messages
printed afterwards.

In some environments, text can sit in the #debug output buffer 
indefinitely until it gets a newline.

#debug concat("hello", " world", "\n")
