How to write Win32-console application right?

Good day!

Could anyone give me advice how to write Win32-console right?
Consider the example below. Yes, it creates standalone console-window but it
is not the thing I wait for.
I don't want to run program in standalone window quite the contrary.
Also I want to use stantard redirection in OS like > or >>.

: ZDIRNAME ( zaddr - ) ZFILENAME S" - <DIR>" PAD ZAPPEND ;
: .NAME ( zaddr - ) CR PAD ZCOUNT TYPE ;

: .DIR ( zaddr - ) \ Show directory content
   [OBJECTS DIRTOOL MAKES DirSpec OBJECTS]

   DirSpec FIRST BEGIN ( flag) WHILE
      DirSpec FileName
      DirSpec IS-DIR IF ZDIRNAME ELSE ZFILENAME THEN .NAME
      DirSpec NEXT
