I am working on such a unit,
for fvsion win32 graph support.

What it basically does is to translated
graphic mode system messages
like WM_KEYDOWN, or WM_LBUTTONDOWN and so on
into INPUT_RECORD that I push in the 
input handle of the Console.

The problem is that the current version requires to modify the win32
graph unit...
But otherwise it does work...

You can get the unit called win32gr.pas
in the fvision CVS repository.

The RTL changes are not yet commited :(
