 Purpose  | 
 Return the handle of the initial standard input device.  | 
| 
 Syntax  | 
 hStdIn& = GETSTDIN  | 
| 
 Remarks  | 
 The standard input handle can be used with some Win32 API calls. It can also be used with the OPEN HANDLE statement, if you wish to treat the keyboard as a file. You should use CONSIN to determine if file or device redirection is in effect.  |
