| Answers to the following questions regarding Turbo Pascal would be appreciated.
| I have version 2.0

| A discussion a while back concerned turning the cursor off...I of course
| was not interested at the time...how is this done from a Turbo program? 
+---------------

I have a procedure to do this; anyone interested send mail.  I don't know if
it's 2.0 compatible or not (I have 3.0).  It uses information stored in low
RAM by MS-DOS and accesses the card (color or monochrome, there is a DOS
pointer in low RAM which knows which is in use and contains the port number of
the card), so it doesn't need INT 10 but DOES need a reasonably-compatible
MS-DOS (Sanyo MBC550 need not apply).  Works fine on my ITT XTRA, I assume it
will work on a PC/XT/AT since I got the tech info. from a book about those
machines, but others are ???.

Usage: cursor(true);  { turn cursor on  }
       cursor(false); { turn cursor off }
