Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. If you mean, am I
writing to the correct list, then yes. I just want to be sure that I
understand the mechanics of stdin/stdout within a console app. I've
only written GUI apps mostly.
If you mean, am I using the right comiler/tool, then yes. Asterisk
communicates with any program over stdin/stdout from what I understand
and reading the asterisk wiki. I've actually written a couple of AGI
programs in C#/Mono, but didn't like the extra setup required for the
mono runtime.
Nop, I meant that does your program is located in the right location
to use AGI (I still learn Asterisk, so I'm not sure that my question
is correct) :)
I'm sure you use the best programming language in the list you gave :D

I will.

It also appears that a standard Writeln automatically issues a flush()
command anyway:

As I understand it depends on the OS as well...

Thanks for responding. It appears the problem may very well be between
the back of my chair and the keyboard. I will start again with a very
basic program and work myself up from there to find out where I am going
wrong.
Good luck, and if you can please share your sources :)
