I don't like the word *console* stdin/stdout, because it just adds to the confusion that was inherent in the recent discussion on the computer-go list. Every process on Unix and Windows has the default streams stdin/stdout. If a process creates a child process, they can be used for inter-process communication. Of course the streams can be connected to a console/shell , but that's just a special case, they don't have to.
