I guess we missed your 30 min deadline.

How about defining a set of characters that are all vowels, consonants, punctuation, etc., then running through the string and check is each character is in any of these sets?
Check the syntax, but it would go something like:

Vowels=[A,E,I,O,U];

for i:=1 to length(MyStr) do
begin
if uppercase(S) in Vowels then inc(VowelCount);
if uppercase(S) in Consonants then inc(ConsonantCount);
etc.....
end;
