I have several programs where I simply BLOAD a VGA file, then do several 
GETS which I later use for animation.  The programs run well enough
and rather than spend any more time and money, I would like to be able
to turn the VGA "off" run my BLOAD and GETs and turn the VGA back "on."
This would make the program look quite a bit more professional with
minimum effort.  I've seen some in-line assem code for C++ that does
just this for a few animation programs, but I would prefer some simply
QB4.5 option if at all possible.
