I am currently working on an 'ecosystem' program in console.

It is going well all except for one thing...

I would like it if when the user pressed a predefined key a new console window/program would pop up and would scroll through the information/statistics of the other program.

Pulling information from the other program should be easy enough with the usual file i/o, but how do I get a new window to pop up?

Btw I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

Not sure if this is doable, but one can always dream
