     Yes, indeed, Xenix on the AT runs in protected mode.  As Dr. Dobbs's
Journal says ``throw away your hand-coded screen management routines''.  
Applications aren't allowed to mess with the hardware or screen memory.
Graphics?  What graphics?  This is UNIX.  You can position the cursor
by sending escape sequences, and that's about it.
