   No, in my previous code, I only demonstrated how the "pascal faq"   
   suggests reading a char from the screen bios...  since I didn't see a   
   construct in pascal which would allow a screen char to be read... I   
   would much rather suggest a standard pascal method to read a screen   
   char, I don't know of one--do you know of one?   
      
   If not, you look like an idiot for finding fault with the only method   
   which will work...
