Answers to the following questions regarding Turbo Pascal would be appreciated.
I have version 2.0

I know how to save an entire "textmode" screen into an array, and from there
into a file for later use. Is it possible to do this with the "graphmode"
screen? If possible, how?

I have never used a "painting" program (such as PC Paint). I would assume
that you can save a screen into a file...is it possible to display a
saved PC Paint type image from a Turbo program?

A discussion a while back concerned turning the cursor off...I of course
was not interested at the time...how is this done from a Turbo program? 

I have heard that there's a Turbo for the Macintosh...how portable is
the source code? Speaking of portability, would it be worthwhile for
me to move up to a newer version of Turbo? How upwardly compatible will
my source code be? I don't have any math coprocessors or anything like that
(and I want my programs to be as generic as possible).

Turbo Graphics Toolbox has no "fill" routine. I would like to add one.
All I need to know is how to "read" the color of a pixel. Anyone know
how? I think there was a similar question recently.

Well, guess this is plenty for now...Thanks in advance.
