   Thanks for your reply.   
      
   I already tried this.   
   But textmode(lastmode) only restores some text-modes.   
   If display was in graphics-mode before program-start, it   
   will remain in text-mode afterwards.   
   But as said in my other posting: I found a solution which   
   seems to work in DOS 6.22.   
      
   Sincerely
