  The documentation is available in many programming books for OS/2, and
  also in the OS/2 Developers' Toolkit.

  I posted a whole list of them here a week or so back.

    fstream modem("COM4") ;
    modem << "ATZ\r" << flush ;

  //
  //    This program writes directly to memory in text mode
  //
  char this_is_some_memory[1024] ;

  int
  main ( int, char ** )
  {
     for (size_t i = 0 ; i < sizeof this_is_some_memory ; ++i)
        this_is_some_memory[i] = ' ' ;

     return 0 ;
  }



  Perhaps you meant direct writes to the text screen ?

  Use the VIO system calls.  They are documented both in the OS/2
  Developers' Toolkit version 1.3 (in PRCP.INF) and in two of the books
  listed in the aforementioned booklist.
