Is there a way to have the monitor open as soon as the script is loaded and before it starts executing? I just learned that starting the monitor resets the Arduino, so that I never see the output from the execution that starts right after the upload.
Just press the reset button on the arduino once you've opened the monitor.
I don't see how that would help.
My sketch deletes a file from my SD and tells me it's done it. I never see that message because the monitor's not displayed. When I start the monitor it resets the Arduino and now reports that there is no such file.

Well that's perfect. Take out the card, write a file to it, put it back in and hit the button.
