There is no easy way to do graphics in OS/2. 

The only sanctioned way of doing graphics is to use PM.  PM is not really that 
easy to get started from when you are used to direct hardware access, and I 
haven't done much more than the simple hello world program yet.

There are other libraries available that allow you to do graphics in OS/2 
full screen sessions, but MS doesn't supply any.

If you want to do text graphics in OS/2 I believe the library you need to use 
is GRTXT.LIB.
