I think M-x compile print the result of the compilation process in
another window. As far as I understand, the OP wants the actual output
of the script to be displayed in another window. This can be done by
putting the following in the initfile.
(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(save-buffer)
(shell-command (buffer-file-name))))
