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
