Harold, sorry for reading this so late:

I am not sure what you mean with attach, but I can create a Windows GUI app that
also has a console (or uses the console from which it was started) and can
perform read and write functions on that console, while at the same time
running a GUI.
This is extremely simple using Delphi and I don't even need to access
the Windows API to do that.
