'cat' in windows (quick question)

[Bellum]

The tutorial I'm using is written by a linux user, and he uses the cat function. He said to use whatever works the same way on your OS. What would work like this for windows users?

If it's a python script, its output should be a print statement which means that running it in a IDE like PythonWin will cause it to print to the shell window. In PythonWin, use File->Run..., type in the arguments and click OK. If it doesn't take arguments, IDLE will also work.
Best of luck,
