	I tried using the standard file 'Con' and it compiled without
errors (since my program was as useful as your code fragment, I don't
know whether it's free of run-time errors.) 
	You can use the input files 'Con' and 'Kbd' and output files
'Con' and 'Trm' for standard i/o. (Characters input with 'Kbd' aren't
echoed to the screen.)

		Hope this helps...
