Hello netlanders!

I am writing programs in TP5.0 for a friend that make up a help function
and help index for a program he is writing.  He is using Turbo Basic, so
he has to shell to my programs.  The only trouble is, he wants to have
the programs I am writing on video page 3 in text mode ($bb00).  Since I
am using the MEM command, I can easily send it to page 3.  The only
trouble is, I cannot find anything in Turbo Pascal that deals with
changing the visual/active page in text mode.  I can use the PAGE
command from  PC-Magazines powertools, but my friend doesn't want me to
use that because when he goes to sell his program, he could get in
trouble for selling a copy it the PAGE command (and he doesn't want to
have to pay royalties, or any garbage like that.)  Anyways, I want to
know if anyone knows how to change the visual/active page in textmode,
or if they know of any PD programs that will do it.

As everyone always says, any help will be appreciated.
