Yes.  It IS documented, but you probably gotta read all the
readme files on the distribution disks (I only got the update
manuals, and they did not mention it. Maybe the full manuals do.)

try:

 _setvideomode (_HERCMONO);


Prior to running this program you need to have run the tsr MSHERC.COM
which is provided in the 5.1 distribution.
