How do I configure SciTE so that when code ( gets() ) asks for user  
input I can enter that input via the output console. At present, all  
that happens is a ‘Terminate’ button appears in the output console. If  
the code doesn’t contain any keyboard input, then all is correctly  
displayed in the output window when run.
