Tim,

Have you looked at using 'toad' to write and test your pl/sql in ? There is a free version. You should be able to see your procedure source code through it.
The 'dbms_output' package can buffer text lines for you and 'toad' will then make them visible.
Beware there is a finite limit to how much output can be buffered.
