Here is a problem for someone who is REALLY up on the
details of the PC's BIOS:
Sometimes, when you try to make the cursor 'go
away' by setting the start and stop scan line
to beyond the range that is displayed, it works,
and sometimes it doesn't. (This also happens in
BASIC -- when you tell it not to display the
cursor [using the locate command], sometimes
it works, and sometimes it doesn't).
Can anyone tell me why this is so. Also, if someone could
suggest a way to make the cursor disappear that ALWAYS
works, it would be greatly appreciated (setting the cursor
twice in a row usually works, but not always).
Please send any replys by mail, since we haven't been recieving
news here for several months.
Thanks in advance,
Greg Shonle
