Looking at Task Output

  If you use an application that produces output, the Show
  Output button in the Work in Progress dialog box is not
  dimmed.  To display task output, click on the Show Output
  button.  The Session Manager opens a Task Output window.

  command that normally produces output files that you need
  to see, Session Manager opens a Task Output window.  For
  example, when you search a file for a text string, you want
  to see the results of that search operation, that is, a listing
  of every line in the selected file on which the text string you
  specified appears.

  If the output is more than one screen of text, the text scrolls
  off the screen.  Click on the Hold Output button to stop and
  resume scrolling.  Use the scroll bars to redisplay the last
  100 lines of text that scrolled off the screen.  When you finish
  viewing the output, or if you want to view it at a later time,
  click on the Dismiss button.

  If Session Manager cannot execute the task successfully,
  it displays the word ``Error'' next to the Status column in
  the Work in Progress dialog box.  Click on the Show Output
  button in the Work in Progress dialog box to display the error
  message.

  If the task produces output files, for example, copied files, and
  the Task Output window is not currently displayed, the words
  ``New Output'' are displayed next to the Status column in
  the Work in Progress dialog box.  Click on the Show Output
  button to display the output.
