If you're seeing 'console' errors, then you must be using Java 6, not  
Java 5.

In their wisdom, Sun created a class called "Console" in java.io.   
We'll have to resolve the ambiguity by referring to Console in  
Display3D and Display2D etc. using 'mason.sim.display.Console'  
instead of 'Console'.  Sadly, we're on Macs and don't have JDK 1.6;  
but you can do this by hand for the moment, it's not too tough.  Or  
backup to Java 5.
