as we've been discussing, this isn't possible in MinGW. The C++ way is to add a virtual write() function to octave_pager_stream, whose default logic is something like

Upon further consideration of pager.cc, I think what you're getting at is the diary functionality, and I notice now that any embedder will necessarely break that as it is right now.

Upon further further consideration, here's an idea. Instead of << to cout in pager.cc, << to octave_actual_stdout, which you initially rdbuf() to cout. This way I can rdbuf() octave_actual_stdout to my buffer, and it'll go through octave_pager_stream.
