I already know stdout, and he work fine. I will look more deeper the
open process command (and associated commands).

And for stdin, I have tried this, but this doesn't work:

-------
put "false" into OK
  
  repeat while OK is false --I wait while the user have pressed any keys
    read from stdin until EOF
    if it is not empty then
      put true into OK
      write it to stdout
    end if
  end repeat
  
  quit
