Hi,

I suspect the problem is that there are two ways to read and write in 
DOS/Windows. You can read the standard input and write to the standard 
output, as in unix/linux etc. You can also read from the console and write 
to the console with calls that don't touch the standard input/output. I 
believe (dredging up from the depths of long unused memory) that a different 
interrupt if used as the entry point into the operating system for these 
calls. Therefore I suspect that a TSR program could be written to hook these 
entry points and read/write from the standard input/output streams as 
appropriate. This is just an idea ... I'm not offering to do it, I'm afraid.

/John Vincent.
