I can't think which one.

input and output are two examples of objects? of type text
they are present in all progs that use read and write....

their behavior is quite complex and I've been trying to find out about
how to modify their behavior.

On looking at the original post I see that they can't be streams because the
streams unit is not a standard unit...
