hello,
I'm looking for a way to open the max window without putting an ugly and completely disconnected [print] object in the corner of my patch...

Is there a way to do this?

On windows, the shortcut ctrl+M will open the message window.

There is a message to Max:

how could I do that with max for live ?
I mean: not in edit mode, but in "runtime" mode :)

I didn't precise that
sorry

Great tip !

BTW, any tip to turn it into a floatting window ?
I don't want to enter "all windows active" mode just to keep th emax window on top.

It's not currently possible to put the Max window in floating mode. Not sure when/if it will change.
