   Console input : "CON"/"CONIN$" with mode 1 (read)   
   Console output: "CON"/"CONOUT$" with mode 2 (write)   
      
   e.g.:   
      
   set fs = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")   
      
   'read from standard input. redirected or not   
   strstd = wsh.stdin.readline   
      
   'read from console input. from keyboard   
   set coninp = fs.opentextfile("con", 1)   
   strcon = coninp.readline   
      
   'write to standard output. redirected or not   
   wsh.stdout.writeline strstd   
      
   'write to console output. to console window   
   set conout = fs.opentextfile("con", 2)   
   conout.writeline strcon
