You will not get a DOS prompt because DOS has no concept that you just changed the screen on it. A TSR will work behind DOS's back, doing things that DOS has no concept of..

If you want it, I have plenty of TSR source around here (TSRs are the reason I learned assembly to begin with...)-- --------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Jeremy J Starcher !
