There is nothing wrong in using WrileLn in a console app.

Why dont you use streams ? Forgive my ignorence, but the speed of the mwedit component in Lazarus is not at all the same as the original. Could this be OS dependant stuff thats happening there ? Has anyone tested it in Lazarus under Windows ?
As to the readln and writeln I wonder why the code would still be slow while typing when what you are currently trying to solve is the reading and writing of the file. Are those not seperate issues ?
