Handle to console output

[Magnum]

How do I get a handle to console output in order to send this to the screen?

Code Select Expand



ASSUME FS:NOTHING

.data?

dwBytes DWORD ?

.DATA

message   db 'Loose Cannon ',

'noun ', 

'Definition: ',

'1. indiscreet and unpredictable person: an unpredictable or indiscreet person, often causing
    trouble for colleagues or associates ( slang ) ','                                                               '

'2. (nautical) a cannon that breaks loose during battle a storm and causes serious damage to the ship
    and its crew ',

.CODE

start:

invoke WriteFile, ?, ADDR message, SIZEOF message, addr dwBytes, 0

invoke ExitProcess,0

end start

Check \masm32\m32lib\stdout.asm.
