hi，

based on current description, let me list need do.

1. start console application in c# gui.

2. monitor key events in c# application, when f1 f6 hit, should pass input console application.

for first step, can start console application using process class in .net.

for second step, think idea christopher provided worth trying. in thread.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6760341/control-console-application-from-windows-form-application-c-sharp

when key press events triggered, can redirect input console application.

if did not work, at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171548.aspx in the section "to send keystroke different application".

anyway, don't quite understand want do, if want call functions, simple. if want control console application, may need simulate technic or windows api.

you can go
