A creature called Peter Fitzsimmons screamed at Mike Stella:

   Ah, I wasn't aware that Vio functions were 16 bit.

   So that's what's wrong...

 PF> You should avoid polling under OS/2 --- change that 2nd

 PF> getch().

   Yeah, I had since changed the code, after I read up on KbdCharIn. 
Thanks though.  And why is it better to use getch()?

   Thanks for the rest of the code, I appreciate it.  Now I can get on to
more compilcated stuff...
