The subject pretty much tells it all.  I want to be able to poke()
a character right into the screen memory so it will show up on the
screen as soon as it is poked.  I read in an Al Stevens book that this
memory starts at b800 for an 8086, but, as that location
does not work for me, I assume it is different for the 8088.

Answers, anyone?
