   You are right - I am using Graphics Mode.   
      
   In text mode I create Help screens by having a dynamic array that will hold   
   5 screens and copy out the current screen from $b800:0000.  Then I copy the   
   screen back from the array when I am finished with Help.   Not proper   
   swapping but it works and is fast enough.   
      
   Thanks for your help - and to the others
