     As noted by Mary Haley, there are various ways to print
     information:
     
     print:
     http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/print.html
     
     printVarSummary:
     http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/printvarsum.html
     
     sprintf:
     http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/sprintf.html
     
     sprinti:
     http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/functions/sprinti.html

     By default, these write to "standard out" in linux/unix jargon.
     ie: the output will be to your screen. You could redirect the
     output to a file using standard linux/unix file redirection:
     
           ncl < sample.ncl >&! sample.out
           
     where the >&! meabs send standard-out, standard-error to sample.out
     and the ! means overwrite sample.out if it previously exists.
      
     or, perhaps better
     
           ncl < dample.ncl >&! sample.out &
     
     where the last & means put in background mode.
     ---
     However, I'm not sure if that is what you were asking.
     
     *IF* you are asking the following:
     
     after an "x11" graphical window is opened,
     
     wks = gsn_open_wks("x11","dummy")
     
     can output from any of the
     above functions be written to that window? The answer is "no".
     
     This x11 is for graphics only. Of course, there are ways
     to write graphical text, eg
     
     http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/csm/support/CSM_Graphics/text.shtml
     
     good luck
