How to make a Console application work from an empty project in Xamarin studio

Question

I've created a simple "hello world" application, starting from an Empty Project. The code just prints a hello world

public class Test_Class {
    public static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine ("hello, world");
    }
}

But no console window pops up when I run the application. How do I make the console show?
