Direct writes to screen buffer

I'm working on an application written in Nantucket Clipper (compiled dBase);
commercial distribution is planned. The Clipper screen write is not
particularly fast, and I'm considering a direct write to the screen buffer.
Question: Has anyone heard whether or not the buffer address will be changed
in future DOS versions?

Side issue - has anyone else noticed how slow Clipper DO loops are?
