Output File Buffer Redirection {$P0} pp 316
Default: P0
Scope: Global
Active: {$P0} Size = 0: Output refers to CON: or TRM: devices.
Setting {$P0} will cause Compiler Error 93.
Inactive: {$Px} Size > 0: Output refers to standard DOS output handle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This directive must be placed before the declarations.
It cannot be redefined during program execution.
The P directive enables output redirection by defining the
standard output file buffer. When the buffer size is zero,
output refers to the CON: or TRM: device.
When the buffer is greater than zero (e.g. $P512) output
refers to the standard DOS output handle.
There is a bug that will not allow this directive to be
set to zero. It results in Error 93. Use the non-declared
default value if P0 is desired.
