 Generating a Windows Console Application


How do I generate a Windows Console Application?   

    Create a new application, then, from the View... Menu option, start the "Project Manager", and remove all units from the project. When asked if you would like to save, Click on the 'NO' button. Then from the View... menu option, select "Project Source" and edit it so it looks like the below example. Note: You can add and use additional units, so long as you do not use any VCL components.

    Example:
    program Project ;
    uses
      Windows;
    {$R *.RES}
    begin
      Writeln('A Console Applicaiton');
      SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(
                              STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                              FOREGROUND_RED OR             
                              BACKGROUND_BLUE);
      Writeln('Red text on a blue background ');
      SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                              FOREGROUND_BLUE OR BACKGROUND_RED);
      writeln('Blue text on a red background ');
    {White text on black background}
      SetConsoleTextAttribute(        GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                              FOREGROUND_RED OR
                              FOREGROUND_GREEN OR
                              FOREGROUND_BLUE);
      Writeln('Press Enter To End');
      Readln;
    end.
