    For stdin (keyboard):
    ReadLn (Variable)

    For files:
    ReadLn (FileHandle, Variable)

    Home this helps.

    you can find that in the online help in pascal F1.

    if you open a dos window that's a consol. =] the online writeln is easy to understand because it's a simple function. =] what are you trying to do?

    simple for you maybe. i tried it and it doesn't work.

    uses wingui;

    start
    document.writeln("hello world");
    finish.

    what pascal are you attempting to use? i do not fully recognise the above...

    i do recognise part of it, though... by using the wingui unit, it would appear that you are trying to create a gui/graphical app rather than a console/textmode app as indicated by the document.writeln function...

    in the console/textmode apps that i've written, i've not used any blahgui units
    at all... in fact, i had to locate or create my own variation of the crt unit to port some of my stuff over... what a headache that was until i got a workable crt (actually crt32) unit going...

    anyway, with those gui units, you end up using other functions to put your text
    stuff to the gui box/pane that opens up... also, most all of your stuff is done
    in some type of form(s)...

    OE is more a windows thing so your probably going to
    need Delphi. ? Is that what your using?
