Common Anode LED display question

Hello!
I am just starting out with basic stamp programming with thte TAB
Robot Kit, BS2 and the Breadboard AppMod. I wish to use a "Common
Anode" LED display to show a number. If I had a "Common Cathode"
type I would just connect the cathode to ground through a 470 ohm
resistor and use 7 I/O s - One on each display, since I want to do
more thatn show numbers and efficiency is not important. However, I
obviously cannot hook up a "Common Anode" LED display in this
fashon. Can anyone give me some insight? ( Schematic / Code / Point
me to a page )
Thanks!
