Depending on the options selected, the amount of data written to the output window during the compile process can sometimes be more than 20 lines. The debug window is of course application dependent. For both, it would be nice to separate the windows from the code editor. For me, it's easier to switch between windows than it is to constantly resize them in order to see all of the pertinent data. Is there any way to do this from within SciTE? Although I scrolled through the global properties file, I found nothing that would indicate this is possible.

Output and Debug in a separate window
I'm not aware of a way to have detach the Output or Debug windows from the main window. It is possible, I suppose, that this capability has been added since SciTE v1.62 upon which the IDE is based. We'll take a look at the change history of SciTE and see if there are enough corrections and improvements to warrant moving to a newer version.

Under the changes for 1.67 I found the following:
The point may be moot however. I've obtained the same funtionality buy increasing the size of the output pane to its' maximum, then toggle between the code and the output/debug using the F8 keyboard shortcut. It allows me to quickly toggle between the code pages and the full text of the compiler output.

Although I was unable to find the method to implement it, this seems to indicate that the output can be accessed via the tab bar.SciTE allows choosing a code page for the output pane.
