I'm not an OS/2 programmer, nor do I play one on TV.  I did do a fair
bit of OS/2 work a year or so ago, but that was for a product for 1.0.

Here's the question:

I've got someone here who has a program written in AVA - allegedly a
REXX-like offering from IBM for multi-media work.  This program doesn't
use PM.  All of it's output is graphical, and it runs on VGAs and 8514s.

This program calls a C DLL to do a lot of the grunt work.  If an input
error is found by the C code, the programmer wants to switch the display
to text mode and output a simple message.

How, under 1.2, does he simply change the display adapter from a graphics
mode to text mode?
