[Ready] Make Serial Monitor persistent/independent-some

I do many tests of my apparatus code through Arduino IDE.

Every time I compile code, Serial Monitor disappears and have to open it again.

This would be pretty clear to make Serial Monitor persistent. Thanks for attention!

Which version of the Arduino IDE are you using?

You can only have one serial connection to the Arduino upload port at one time.
However, if you use serial port one for uploading code and serial port two for your monitor (ex. realterm) this would work.

The Atmega1284 has two serial ports.
The Mega has four.

My bad. I was talking about old version. Looks like developers fixed it near 1.8.2. Bye!

ARDUINO 1.6.5 - 2015.06.15
