wooops,typo.sorry it should have been
asm    db     %pusha
asm ;skrewwithem registers all ya want
asm    db     %popa
 
Thanks Bob,I hope none tried that b4 seeing the correction.
I am flaberghasted(?) at my mistake,I must have typed  db about
100 times that nite,I dunno where that "w" came from.

By the way,I got the idea from a file called pbagi.zip,a library for
640x400x256 graphics,by Tenie Remmel.It was converted for power basic
compatibility by Hans Lunsing.I am asumming that Hans is the one who came up
with the idea in the first place,but again he might have saw it
somewhere too.(there are some other cool ideas there as well)
 
I am trying to convert some of the subs to work with mode 13h in POWERbasic
3.5.I have ran in to a real snag trying to make the primitives get drawed
into a buffer,you can read about it in
my post "drawing in a screen buffer:help".
