I have a program that I am working on that turns off DOS command line processing of ^C and all of the other little favors that DOS does for us such as ^P for print screen. This is done the legit way with int 21 calls and all works just fine UNLESS sidekick is loaded into memory - not running doing anything just quietly sitting there prior to invoking my program! If sidekick is in memory the DOS call to turn off ^C is not acted upon by DOS at all. Any one have any idea how or why sidekick does this and how to get around it other than first deleting sidekick with its magic ^HOME-^END ? Thanks phil kaufman
