You can access any system call using Personal Pascal.  Some are explicitely
defined, and others must be defined by the user.  Have you seen the text
files from OSS?  Originally placed the OSS BBS, these are also on CompuServe
and BIX now.  They explain how to use the AES, VDI, and BIOS calls that are
not pre-defined.  Maybe we should get these posted on the net...
