Display VBS variable in command prompt

I would like to know how to display variable values in command prompt. Following is the vbs code:

 For i=0 To 10
 // I should display this variable value in command prompt
 Next

If I write Shell.run(a.bat) inside loop, this will open command prompt 10 times.
But i want all 10 values to be displayed in single command prompt.

[EDIT] Yes, if run the .vbs script via CSCRIPT then WScript.Echo will print to the prompt window, else will popup a message box. Then work with CSCRIPT you can use as well WScript.StdOut.Write and WScript.StdOut.WriteLine

For i = 0 To 10
    WScript.StdOut.WriteLine i
Next

Also with Shell.Run you can get only the exit code, and to redirect the output from your .bat file, you'll need Shell.Exec method. There is a nice example on how to use Exec into Windows Script 5.6 Documentation. It's a must have doc file anyway.

Use WScript.Echo:

For i = 0 To 10
  WScript.Echo i
Next

You'll want to use CSCRIPT, either explicitly:

cscript vecho.vbs

Or make CSCRIPT the default:

cscript //H:CScript
