How to open system console to get output from Blender on Mac OS 10? Noobie here.

Should I open Mac terminal and cd to /Applications/Blender/ which is where my Blender app is? Doesn't seem to work for me trying to run script from Text screen in Blender. I guess there is no way to see output within Blender itself?
Right click on the Blender icon in the Applications folder and select "Show Package contents". Make an alias of Contents/MacOS/Blender by right clicking and selecting "Make Alias". Rename it and move it somewhere you like.

This opens the console in the background, next to the Blender application.
