Hi
I am trying to write program which reads the keyboard buffer, before the
command.com interrupter does.
In other words
I want to write a program that if certain keywords are typed in it will go
and do some function.
otherwise it must act as normal.
eg
enter CLS
I want it to first do the normal clearscreen
but afterwards it must print my name and time and other tings on the top
of the screen.
( I will write the program that prints my name and other things )
( But I need to know how to link in the keyboard interrupt so )
( that when it reads CLS if first does CLS and then comes and )
( executes my program. )
OR
enter TIME
I want it to ask me if I want to change the time or just display it.
THEN it must go and do the NORMAL time function.
( same applies here I will write the program but how do I )
( link it into the keyboard interrupt )
Does anyone know if this is possible ???
PLEASE I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR +/- 4 mths. BUT no-one I have asked knows
what to do or even how to HELP
