Any c++ win32 or mfc programmers here? (speech control jukebox app.)

In VB simply execute a "Shell <var>" to send something to a DOS screen. Unless your trying to
send the text to a specific DOS window you already have instantiated. There really is no "console"
in Windows.

It sure would be nice if windows adhered more to standards, like giving the programmer access to stdout at all times.  I would like to send text to stdout or a console output so I can watch processing of my speech commands in real-time.  I could send the output to a file, but then I have to keep reloading in order to watch the output.

Right now I have a simple speech application which compiles as a dialog-based application.  I have no idea how to send output to the console from a dialog-based app.  For now I've resorted to sending output to an edit box.  (Sending output to the edit box was much more complicated than I expected.  I spent two hours trying to figure out just how to automatically scroll the damn thing.)

I would rather send trace output to the console/stdout than use an edit box.  I could create a new project in MS VC 6.0 as a console based application, which would give me easy access to the console, but I do not know windows programming well enough to restructure the speech app   .
