Just take TProcess class and run your console app.  Then you can pass 
input and read output from there. 
I think there is some example in the wiki. 

For a more detailed example you can also look at my mplayer class. 
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/cactusjukebox/source/mplayer.pas
It's an interface to mplayer console app.
