[Lazarus] Hello World program generates a File Not Open runtime error

[Sven Barth]

Maybe a "simple console application" project could be added to Lazarus 
or "{$apptype console}" could be added by default to "custom program" 
projects.

It will not be changed however, that console I/O is possible without 
{$apptype console}, because it was only rather recently changed to be 
this way (because this is how users expect Windows applications to behave).

Regards,
Sven
