Newbee!!BPL question! Printing to standard output

[Khaled Khairy]

I use ActiveState and use BPL for exposing a C++ library using VC6.
Can I, and how do I print to the standard output or to the ActiveState
interpreter screen directly,
without having to return a string ?  Something like calling
cout<<"some text" ;    within a function.
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
