I am looking for assistance with creating a text Window using BIOS calls.
Basically, I want to display a status line at the top of the screen, and have
whatever text is below this display as normal and never wipe out the top
status line.

As I understand it, I could trap INT 29 and make a routine to handle some of
the above. Does anyone have information or code (in C or assembly) regarding
this?

This is on a 286 system running DOS 5.0.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Mark
