How to read from an external console application?

I have a console application that I didn't write. Is there some easy way to read from it? I need to have the input still on the console window, but read what's being displayed.

I care not whether the output displays to the console or not, so long as the input still works.

Console Application Runner Classes are excellent to control the console application processes and to redirect input and output where required.

I had a project that is doing the same thing. I have a console application written in VB.Net and I run and capture it's output using my Delphi application. I have successfully achieved this by following this tutorial by Zarko Gajic.
