I'm using an msdos call from turbo to get directory information off the
disk.  When an error occurs (say, the disk drive is empty) ms dos kicks
in with the familiar "Retry or Abory" message.  Anyone know how I can get
around this?  The {$I+/-} option won't catch it.  Perhaps something to
do with turning of msdos interrupts?

thanks much,
