If you run inside the IDE:

Menu: View > Debug Windows > Console.
This handles input and output.

It is not a full terminal though. Like some terminal have special 
features, like escape sequences for colors....

If you need that, there is a global setting in the option dialog, to set 
a tty for all debug output. You mus however open the tty yourself (e.g. 
use the tty of a shell you launched outside the IDE)

Outside the IDE, you get a normal terminal.
