I guess that you can't do 16 bit input/output's in QB 4.5
(like out port,data, or in port,data, where data is a 16 bit quantity)...

It's probably futile, but if there ever will be a version 5, it should have...

- pointer (mouse) support
- support for 640X480, 800X600, and 1024X768 graphics modes
- more choice in screen editor modes (up to 132 X 66 ?)
- 16 bit in/out functions
- support for in-line machine language code? (Wow, that would be cool)
- (add more here)...
