How to get Xamarin Studio C# output within the IDE?

I recently started experimenting with Xamarin and Mono C# on my Mac. I am used to working on Windows with Visual Studio so I find it cumbersome when every time I run my console application, a new terminal window and mono compiler terminal open up. And I have to manually close them. Is there anyway to get the output of my programs from a window or pane inside the IDE ? Or is there anyway to set it up so only one terminal window shows up ?

For anyone else arriving at this question who can't locate 'Project Options', the item is found in a drop down menu under the Project Tab (located at the top of the screen on the app's main nav bar). When a solution/file is loaded, the item is listed with your project's actual name, ex: 'MyProject Options' or 'MyProject&Options' (–it does not literally read 'Project Options').

If you open the Project Options there is a Run on external console check box in the Run - General category which controls this behaviour. If you uncheck this option when you run a console application the output will be shown in an Application Output window inside Xamarin Studio and no external console window will be opened.
