If it's true, then the Linux console/terminal is a file. Duhuhuh. :)
No, seriously, explain it a bit more. As far as I know, a terminal is a
device in Linux, which is some kind of a file, maybe you mean this. When
I run the program in konsole (KDE xterm), the output is on the screen,
and that's logical, because I haven't specified a file in Put_Line.
