Hello there.. I wonder if I'm in the right base for asking the 
following question.. it concerns Graphics programming in the VGA 
enviorment.
 
Is it possible for me to write to the screen the first 200 chars in 
the IBM character set, one after the other (5 screen lines), then 
clearing the whole char set (to blanks - fill the specific memory 
bank with 0's).  Once this is done, I would like to write to the 
char set, creating animation.
 
It's quite impressive, what I have in mind (I have programmed this 
on my trusty ol' Commodore, and would like to do the same on the 
IBM)   I hope I wasn't too vague.  It's sorta difficult to explain. 
But I would appreciate any replies.  Thanks!
 
Andrew.
