Does one of the menus offer an option to do that (open the output
window...)?
It's been quite a while since I've used Visual Studio 6, but is there a
"Start Without Debugging" command available from the Debug menu? If so, run
your program using that command, and the output window will remain visible
for output inspection after the program ends.
