C,
Sorry. Picked up on this post late..... If you are looking to embed a DOS
console or something then you can:
1. Look at the current implementation for GXExplorer. It uses a class called
TRedirector with threads to manipulate the stdin, stdout, stderr file
handles. Rather simple to use.
2. Check out the following components

3. I am about to preview a DOS prompt component for GXE that actually embeds
a DOS window and does not make use of stdin etc.
Let me know if you need more info......

The gui console functions are for creating a new console, which
unfortunately won't help with getting data piped in from the commandline. I
haven't found a use for those console functions yet... but no doubt there is
one :)
The point I was trying to get across in the last post was that because
Windows uses a totally different paradigm it doesn't allocate input and
output handles for a GUI program, so you can't just pipe from the
commandline like you could in dos. Probably the easiest thing to do is give
command-line options for reading data from a file.
