Hello Richard

First, welcome aboard; regards from Turkey :)

And then, AFAIK in the GUI environment we haven't a "stdout" :(

For anything to "out" (print), you have defined a "place"; usually a form (window).

If you are about console mode, everything is as usual: print commands are ? or ?? and print functions are QOUT() and QQOUT().

I hope this will be helpful for you.

Regards / Cordialement :D

The only thing that seems to do the trick is : outstd().

It displays "press any key to continue" - can that be avoided??

Did you tried ? or QOUT() instead of outstd() ?

May be "press any key to continue" message come from system (OS, CMD of win); not your program.

Probably, but isn't it possible to write to the console without that?

I guess no !

In general, my console prgs run in "terminate and close cmd window" fashion and I have add WAIT command in prg or PAUSE command in the .bat file that call my prg.

Could you send a simple example ?
