How about Delphi's console applications? No 8.3 limitation, can be ran from GUI. Doesn't need to teach stdin/stdout as they are, instead teach for: "the computer waits for user to type something in and press enter". As well as stdout is actually "the window with text". No need to bother with working dir as well. And yet again, nothing but pure problem solving. (no guis, message queues, event handlers etc). thanks, Dmitry
