Frank, you are mixing old style C console output with C++ stream 
output. You can't do what you want that way. Here is a 'Borlandized' 
version that uses their constream class to do what you want:
#include 
#include   // ** I included this! **
 
class Humanoid     
   public:                  
     int GetAge();         
     void SetAge(int Age); 
     // ** I changed the philosopher member! **
     const char * Philosopher(); 
 
   private:             
      int She_He_Its_Age;      
};
 
int Humanoid ::GetAge()
{                        
   return She_He_Its_Age;
}
void Humanoid::SetAge(int Age)
{
   She_He_Its_Age = Age;      
}
// ** Changed implementation **
const char * Humanoid::Philosopher() 
{                              
   // ** Now it just returns the address of the string **
   return "Why is their something and not nothing?.";
}
 
int main(void)
{
   constream cs;  // ** Added this! **
   Humanoid Frank;    
   Frank.SetAge(65);  
 
   cs.clrscr();  // ** Now clear the constream! **
   /* Instead of cout, or cprintf, I just streamed out to the 
    * constream, cs. It has manipulators (dedicated functions)
    * that let you change the stream properties. For instance,
    * setxy() is the same as gotoxy, except it works on a stream.
    * setclr() sets the color.
    *
    * This is a lot more 'C++ like' than mixing standard cout and
    * and cprintf() statements.
    */
   cs << setxy(10, 5) << setclr(11) <<
        "Frank HAS to be frank because that's his middle name.";
   cs << setxy(10, 6) << "Frank is a humanoid who is ";
   cs << setxy(10, 7) << Frank.GetAge() << " years old.\n";
   cs << setxy(10, 8) <<
       "and he goes around all the time saying things like ";
   cs << setxy(10, 9) << Frank.Philosopher();
   return 0;
