I posted a message similar to the following about a week ago. Since I
have received no responses, I'm assuming that it didn't get out of our machine.
Sorry if you've already seen it.

Is it possible to save a graphics screen (graphmode) into an array (and from
there into a file for later use)? I can do this with the text screen, but get 
gibberish when I try the same technique with graphmode.

How do I turn the cursor off from my program? Disable it? Set cursor color to
background color? Better yet, how about a cursor-on/cursor-off pair?

I have version 2.0, and have heard that version 3.0 has something called
variable-constants. I would love to be able to use the results of MemAvail
to determine the value to give a constant, i.e. the more available memory, 
the more records I can bring in at once, which means fewer disk accesses
and a faster program. Is 3.0 worth the my going out and getting it?

Is there some way to read the color of a pixel? Turbo Graphics has no fill
routine which I think was a little short sighted of Borland. I have a fill
routine which I wrote in Microsoft Pascal for the EGA, but I have to know
how to get the pixel color.

Thanx in advance,
