What do you mean by "internal console"?  If it is a GUI app, with a text
control displayed in a window, then you can't use pipes to send the
data.  You must use something like FindWindow to locate the top-level
window, then GetDlgItem to get the window handle of the text control
itself, then use SetWindowText or send a WM_SETTEXT message to change
the text as displayed.
