This is very close already! Two things if you get to work on this for 
the weekend:

* The console window should be of variable height (to fit the text) up 
to some number of rows (e.g. 40), and then scroll.

* The console window should be below, not above the edit window.

* The "Compile & Run" button should be "Run" to enhance the feeling of 
instant execution.

* The two buttons should be to the right of "Example:" (with some spacing)

* We need to go through all examples and make sure they are 
compilable... :o)

This is a great contribution, Adam. Thank you!
