     Does anyone in netland know how to develop TSRs with Turbo Pascal?
  
     I know that Turbo has a command called KEEP that stores the current
  program in RAM.  However, the Turbo manual does not give much help on
  controlling the program after termination.  Specifically, I would like
  to simulate the following type of code:
              
              REPEAT 
                IF KEYPRESSED IS ALT-C THEN EXECUTE PROGRAM
                  ELSE
                    KEEP (TERMINATE AND STAY RESIDENT);
              UNTIL KEYPRESSED IS ALT-R;
              REMOVE PROGRAM FROM RAM;

  The above code is to continue checking the keyboard for the ALT-C key
  sequence.  Once this sequence is pressed the program executes otherwise
  the program TSRs.  The ALT-R sequence is for removing the program from
  memory to free up RAM.
     If the above question is answered, you (Netland) will see the fruits 
  of my labor.  I will post the TSR that I am working on.  Thanks in advance.
  Respond to me through the newsgroup or email.
