Well, yes and no - the problem with 16/05 is that it is not available on older machines (XTs) - it wasn't implemented until the AT bios. If the software will never be used on XTs, one can use the method as described. It is also possible just to stuff characters into the keyborad buffer, as the original poster was asking, but as this circular buffer is by default quite small, only short strings can be entered there - if you need more you have to write your own INT 16H handler... -frisk
