   Suggestion: Check if your values are what you expect them to be.   And start   
   with *writing* something to the screen before you subtract 2 from DI.   It   
   will show you if your calculated position is where the cursor is.   
      
   If-and-when that doesn't quite work, display the contents of DX after the   
   "get cursor" call.   After that shows the expected values display the   
   contents of ES:DI. just before reading from screen-memory / subtracting 2   
   from DI   
      
   Remark: The code you posted works here.   
      
   > Maybe the screen buffer is unavailable for reading? Is that possible?   
      
   Ofcourse.  But not likely (never heard of it).
