It may just be a define... Or it may not be implemented.

On Windows "Terminal Output" does not exist, because console apps always 
have there own window (though if someone knew how to implement it ...)
On MAC, no one seems to know how to do a virtual pty, so it is not 
implemented.

Freebsd was never tested. If the linux code for a virtual pty works, 
then only the IFDEF needs to be changed.

search for
{$IFDEF linux} {$DEFINE DBG_ENABLE_TERMINAL} {$ENDIF}

and enable it, and see if it works.
