     It requires you to open an output file for writing, viewing the file with update turned on, writing to the file and draining the buffer to display it:

     myTempFile = makeTempFileName( "testFile" )

    ;; Open the file in write mode (clean file) as opposed to append

    myFileId = outfile( myTempFile "w" ) || error( "Could not open %s\n" myTempFile )

    view( myTempFile nil "Title of view window" t ) ; the last argument makes the window updatable

    fprintf( myFileId "This is a test of the view file system\n" )

    drain( myFileId )

    ;; Be sure to close the port when finished

    close( myFileId )

     

    Hope that helps. You can control the size of the window and where it ends up with the view command.
