Hi Sami,
To show what a function evaluates to, simply wrap it in a "Print" 
statement. But note that the Print statement returns "Null". Therefore, 
if you need the return value, either assigne it before the Print or use 
a temporary variable.
Example:

a[x_]:=2x;
fun[]=:Module[{},Print[a[2]]; ]
or
fun[]=:Module[{t},Print[t=a[2]]; ]

sincerely, Daniel
