:)  You're way ahead of me.  I've spent the last few days pouring over back
issues of EDM/2 in an attempt to learn the basics of PM programming.  It
works a lot different than I expected it would.

That part, at least shouldn't be too difficult.. (I hope )..

Seems like that would be more trouble than its worth...  Hopefully we'll be
able to call the necessary functions from ASM, and use WASM (Watcomm's
assembler) to assemble it.. (Hope it isn't too much different from TASM)..

Thanks for the info! :)
