Keep reading, it is in the Xcode User Guide (Accessible via the menu Help ->
Xcode User Guide).
On the table of contents (left side), click "Part VI: Debugging", then click
"Viewing Log Messages".
You may want to go through the manual first to see if your question is
answered there before posting to the list. It is much faster. BTW, it is
called a Run Log window, not box. That typo may have slowed your search
down.

When I create a C++ Tool (under command line utility) and press "Build and
Go", Xcode builds the tool, switches my window to display the Run Log and
prints out:
[Session started at 2008-04-07 12:04:32 -0400.]
Hello, World!
Test has exited with status 0.
Seems to work fine for me.

In my opinion, Hungarian Notation was used when compilers were slow and hard
to use. Now this notation serves no purpose other than to obfuscate your
code. Perhaps your instructor does not use modern IDEs? My sympathies.

Actually, it is:
dCostValueRatio, iPeopleCount, etc..
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation
Finally, for Cocoa instruction, you should get the book, "Cocoa Programming
for Mac OS X".
Good luck,
