From the DOC there are several ways.

The Echo method displays parameters in a window (in Wscript.exe) or at the command prompt in a Command Prompt window (in Cscript.exe).

Parameters are delimited by one space. Under Cscript.exe, this method outputs a carriage-return/line feed pair (CR LF) after the last parameter displayed.

Syntax
Wscript.Echo [anyArg...]

Example
Wscript.Echo
Wscript.Echo 1, 2, 3
Wscript.Echo "Windows Scripting Host is cool."

Or you can use the WshShell.popup method for Wscript
The Popup method displays a popup message box window that contains the message contained in strText. The window title of this message box is specified by strTitle. If strTitle is omitted, the window title is "Windows Scripting Host".

Syntax
WshShell.Popup(strText, [natSecondsToWait], [strTitle], [natType]) = intButton

Remarks
If natSecondsToWait is supplied and its value is greater than zero, the message box window will be closed after natSecondsToWait seconds.

The meaning of natType is the same as in the Win32? MessageBox function. The following table shows the value and its meaning in natType. You can combine values in the following tables.

Button Types
Value Description
            0 Show [OK] button
            1 Show [OK] and [Cancel] buttons
            2 Show [Abort], [Retry] and [Ignore] buttons
            3 Show [Yes], [No] and [Cancel] buttons
            4 Show [Yes] and [No] buttons
            5 Show [Retry] and [Cancel] buttons

Icon Types
Value Description
            16 Show "Stop Mark" icon
            32 Show "Question Mark" icon
            48 Show "Exclamation Mark" icon
            64 Show "Information Mark" icon

The preceding two tables do not cover all values for natType. For a complete list, see the Win32 documentation.

The return value intButton denotes the number of the button that the user clicked. If the user does not click a button before natSecondsToWait seconds, intButton is set to -1.

Value Description
            1 [OK] button
            2 [Cancel] button
            3 [Abort] button
            4 [Retry] button
            5 [Ignore] button
            6 [Yes] button
            7 [No] button

Example
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Popup "Where do you want to go today?"

WSH FAQ http://wsh.glazier.co.nz/frame.htm

 can you provide an example please?? I tried it, with no success. In much
cases it would be very usefule to redirect the output into a pipe, so that
"find" can extract something from the output. It this possible this way??
