Ok, here's a good one for you:

   For those of you who saw my post earlier about having messages break into
xedit, I think I got an answer.  I check to see if full-screen is active when
it comes time to to display messages (much thanks to the well-commented code
of MSGTRAP); if it is active, then I save the message in memory.  Now I have
an I/O interrupt also, and when it is called for a console attention (ie -
I get an interrupt on device X'09') THEN is display the message.  It works,
but I lose any changes that were made on the screen.  Now is there a way I can
"save" the screen changes, or perhaps display the messages after the screen
update stuff has been done?

Is there any hope?  Or am I just wasting my time beating a dead horse?

*sigh* What I wouldn't do just to *LOOK* at a few IBM manuals.
