On Windows, you can view debug statements using either gdpconsole or the Gadget Designer. As for exceptions and script errors, those happily pop up in an error dialog.

On the Mac, you can view those same messages in the console log. Here's how:

1. Open Console.app, located under Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
   
2. Click the Logs button in the toolbar to open the logs list
   
3. Select console.log in the logs list
