stdin/stdout in Windows "command prompt" window

[Dar Scott]

I'm not sure whether this is a Revolution question or a Windows question.

I have some Revolution standalones that read from stdin and/or write to 
stdout.  For testing, I run them from a command prompt window.  If I 
pipe or redirect stdin or stdout, these work correctly.  However, if I 
do not, they do not work as I expected.  I expect them to read and write 
the console as console apps do.  For some reason they do not.

Is this because they are GUI apps?  (This is my first GUI app that does 
stdin/stdout I/O and, to put it another way, my first console app that 
has a GUI.)  Or is this some Revolution limitation?

Workarounds?  I tried redirecting to the console, but that didn't work.
