How do I view the Immediate Window?

[Nozza]

I have looked at help that states

"The Immediate window is used to debug and evaluate expressions,
execute statements, print variable values, and so forth. It allows you
to enter expressions to be evaluated or executed by the development
language during debugging. To display the Immediate window, open a
project for editing, then choose Windows from the Debug menu and
select Immediate.

You can use this window to issue individual Visual Studio commands.
The available commands include EvaluateStatement, which can be used to
assign values to variables. The Immediate window also supports
IntelliSense.

This section contains information about the commands available from
the Immediate window.

Contains links to topics that describe the commands available from the
Immediate window.

Displaying the Values of Variables"

But it doesn't tell me how to see it. My dummies book keeps on
referring to it, but doesn't tell me how to see the window
successfully. It tells me to View/OtherWindows/Immediate Window, but
that option isn't there on my version.

I have Debug.Print statements in my program, but where are the
statements output? How do I see them? How can I see the immediate
window? Has it been renamed?

Ctrl+G

or find it out by opening menu Tools->Options: Environment->Keyboard:
Enter immediate into the textbox labeled "Show commands containing:" and
you will see the assigned shortcut (but Ctrl+G should be default, I
think)

or isn't it in the toolbar by default? I don't remember. It's the icon
with the red "!" on the left.

or right-click on the menu bar, choose "customize", folder "Commands",
category "Debug", on the right list, drag&drop "Immediate" window
wherever you want.

or, (just found) menu Debug->Windows->Immediate

Sufficient? ;-)
