What version of gfortran are you using (i.e. exactly which binary did you download)?

GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.4.0 20080603 (experimental) [trunk revision 136333]

Is this a write to standard output "write (*,*) szText" ?

yes, it is.

I forgot to say that it also works with pydev in Eclipse but I'm looking for a simple interactive python shell that can execute some programs. IPython does the job but is less friendly than IDLE in term of program editing. Anyway, I think I will use it for now. Thanks for your reply. Regards, Christophe
