Thank you all for responding and telling me the problem with my program
(DOS is not re-entrant).  Now I have some questions:

	1) I wrote a program to put an '*' on the screen where I had my
	   cursor.  I did the standard conversion, ie. row*80+column, but
	   then found that I had to divide this value by 4.  Why?
	2) I am now trying to program the mouse using graphics.  If someone
	   could direct me to a good source for Mouse and/or VGA graphics
	   information I would be grateful.

thanks

Gene
