Viewing UART output in console

I'm running a simple UART programme on my launchpad having MSP430G2553.The code echoes a received character,RX ISR is used. I don't want to use a terminal software like hyperterminal to view the output.So where can I input my character? and where I can see the echoed output? In one of the videos I saw the output displaying in the console window.How exactly to do that?

Moreover I'm not able to wrie anything to the TX bufer in the UART register window.Why is that?

Hope to receive some help.

Thanks.
