A workaround is to add a PRINT before the CALL, i.e.
a: copy {}
print "Workaround for CALL bug"
view layout [btn [call/output "wn bug" a print a]]
I understand that having the console open is probably not a viable
workaround for most applications; I think the only workaround in
such case is to output to a file and then read it.

It actually does for ALL windows users AFAIK. The bug has been
reported and I hope to see it fixed soon too. (It would be nice to
be able to avoid the MSDOS window popping too. :)

Gabriele.
