Output to command prompt window?

I'm stumped! How do I output text to the command prompt where my EXE was started?

I am writing a utility that will be run from the command prompt. I want the program to run and output some text to the text window, then end.

Thanks!

MSDN article Q171654 has lots of details and a sample program in VB for manipulating console windows.

Thanks for the pointer. From that, I also found this:
"You can't create a true console app with VB. You can use a Sub Main in a standard BAS Module to start you application. So you can create a VB application without any user interface. You can have your VB app control a console window so it looks like a console app. This is in the following article: Q171654"

From looking at the Q article, it appears that you simply cannot do what I wanted with Visual Basic!

Five or ten years ago, making a "console app" was simple in almost any programming language and making graphical windows programs was difficult, if not impossible. Now it is the opposite!

Oh well...
