Hi,

I have written a couple of Delphi port programs, and I think the attached one is
the most advanced one, and it works. Please ask if something is unclear - the
code is not very commented.

The way I solved it is with a separate thread that reads from stdin and sends
the messages asynchronously to the main program. This can be done by registering
a custom Windows message, or by polling mailboxes in the idle loop of the
window. The important thing is to be careful not to do things inside the reader
thread.

regards,
Vlad
