I am programming a graphical terminal emulation package in TC 2.0, and
have stumbled upon an interesting problem which someone perhaps can
help me solve.  When a control-S is typed at the keyboard, program
execution is halted (exactly as what happens after ctrl-Numlock) until
another key is hit.  I am using BIOS call 0x16 to read characters; is there
any easy way to correct this problem and read a ctrl-S when it is pressed?
BTW, I'm running on a Gateway system, if this would make any difference.
