Running Steam with Console

The first step is to run steam with the console enabled. You do this by adding -console to the end of the shortcut to run steam. For example for me in Windows 7 I click the start button, right at the top is the shortcut to steam; I right click it and select properties, then where it says "Target blah blah blah path to steam \steam.exe" I add -console (dash c o n s o l e).Run steam with this shortcut and you will have a new shiny CONSOLE option at the top right.
