I have a number of terminate and stay resident packages that are loaded in my autoexec file. Most of them announce themselves in bold print. Since I don't have ANSI, NANSI, FANSI, CLANCY, etc. loaded, how do they do it. They all write on the next line on the screen, so I presume they are not doing direct screen writes, but are rather using DOS/BIOS calls. I don't see anything documented in the DOS calls for writing with an attribute, and the only BIOS calls do the writes one character at a time. Since some of them leave me in bold mode (ie. everything else from then one shows up in bold), I assume that there has to be a variable set somewhere which holds the "current" attribute. If this is the case, does anyone know where it is or how to set it? Alan Groupe
