R�diger,
sure, but these shell windows are still rather common under Unix, some
people told me (at least they are using them rather frequently), and they
used to be used under DOS. What were they called there? Shell? Could we
maybe make that a synonym to stdin and stdout?
Never mind. Since we're really talking about a Dodo thing here, I guess
it's no use to add another synonym for a rarely-used feature, especially
since for CGIs standardInput and standardOutput actually make sense.
