I am creating a console mode application that just keeps quitting for
seemingly no apparent reason, I've trace the program when it reaches a
certain line the program ends.

You should definately post a few lines showing what causes your application
to terminate...

Console applications don't usually have the same default interrupt
handler as windowed applications.  You might be triggering an
interrupt, and terminating when it isn't handled.

That happens from time to time with me too.  It usually helps to run
it from the EXE instead of the IDE, you get an error message that way.

The problem is that a lot of time with console apps running in the
IDE, they abort with no error message.

I suppose I really want around a way round this rather than you fixing my
bad code - debugging is half the fun anyway :-).

Funny thing, if you raise an exception from the app itself, an exception
shows but otherwise it won't.

Well, the error code from the EXE should help.  Also, with problems
like this in console mode, I've had to resort to old fashoned
debugging - put several ShowMessage( 'point 1') etc in there (yes you
can do that in console mode if you add Windows to the uses statement).
Then you can narrow down where it is going wrong.

I think that is a bug in console mode in the IDE. (no flames please)

That normally points to an exception of access violation happening.
Try to run it from outsdie the IDE, and see what happens then. The
console will *not* disappear there.

Not Windows but Dialogs, IIRC. I often do the same when debugging a
console mode program. Also, running it from a console (i.e. not in the
IDE) can give a clue on what actually happens.

You're right - dialogs for ShowMessage (and MsgDialog).

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've managed to get the de{*word*81} to
work properly. Put everything inside an try...except block, the exception is
raised, like normal. It goes to the offending line. I solved my problem, a
daft off by one.
