You can log whatever you need in the simulator, and the output will show up in the Console application. Whenever you want to see the result of a command or the value of a variable, use a plain "put":

put "http://www.whatever.com"; into tURL
put tURL -- sends the variable value to Console

I often create a handler called "log" so that I don't have to track down and remove all those "puts" later on:

on log pData
  put pData
end log

Then whenever I need to see output, I just add a "log" command to my handlers:

  log "Variable value is:" && myVar

If you don't want all that output showing up in Console in your final standalone, just comment out the body of the log handler before you build and nothing will happen. (Don't remove the whole handler or you'll get a "handler not found" error.)

Keep Console open at the same time as the simulator, with All Messages showing. You'll see the "put" commands go scrolling by. You can filter the output so it's easier to see by filtering for the simulator only, whose name escapes me right now, but you'll see it.
