Wouldn't it be easier just to save the palate values and set them ALL to black (000) ? Then a keypress could cause the old values to be restored. This (it seems to me) would always work. Color or Mono. No moving the video RAM pointer. No need to check 32K for zeros. ...or am I forgetting something? -- -------------------------------- Robert Wilhite UUCP: ..ncrcae!usceast!wilhite CSNET: wilhite@cs.scarolina.edu
