I think you will have to post the text of your entry- and exit code,
because there is no problem with sozobon, I compiled some GEM programs
with sozobon and they run without problems.

and now something completely different:
The Larch

Some time ago people asked for example GEM programs.  To get a bit used 
to GEM I wrote a relatively small and not very useful text-viewer.
Because it is small I think other people can understand it, it contains
comments.
Subjects covered:
	evnt_multi, wind_..., vst_height, v_gtext, vro_cpfm, etc.
	multiple windows with the 8x8 font
	keystrokes do not necessarily go to the top windiw, but to the
	 one under the mouse.

Another program simulates the Xwindow style of multi clicking.
(Ever tried to three-double click with GEM :-( .)

If anyone is interested I will send they to comp.sources.a.s
