C++ Builder has it's own newsgroup sections and they have "CPPBUILDER" in their name. How exactly are you producing your output? It sounds like you have created a VCL based application in which case there is no simple concept of output. Instead you have forms (windows) onto which you place components. To communicate information with the user you get the components to change some aspect of their visualisation. Some examples are: TLabel - change the 'Caption' property. TMemo - Modify the 'Lines' property. In both cases when you change the property the component will redraw itself. You can use a 'TMemo' to simulate a console by adding strings to its 'Lines' property but not many applications use that functionality as it looks rather dated. If you are trying to use printf() or puts() or 'cout' then you need to create a console application.
