	Can someone give me a hand?  I am not familiar with Pascal and
Macintosh I/O system. Someone gave me a Pascal program running on Sun4 so
that I can get it to run on the Mac.  This program is supposed to read a text 
file something to it and write it out again.  I compiled the program with 
Think Pascal without any problem.  I saved it as an application.  When I 
run it, it is expecting interactive input from the terminal. 

	How do I get it to read input and output file name interactively?  I
don't want any window or anything. At the top of the original program it has 
"Program program_name(input, output)".  Does it mean the default names are 
input and output?  Do I have to get rid of them?  

	Sorry about asking such trivial questions ...  Thanks anyway.
