I have been plagued with a IBM related task, so I thought I would come
to the ones who know....

I want to write a very simple terminal program that will scroll the 
screen as it goes.  The one I typed out of "The Waite Group's Microsoft
C Programming for the IBM" loses characters as the screen scrolls.  Just
as the book said it would.  

This is a nice and commendable feature, however, I am interested in it
not losing characters.  How do I write a interupt handler for this?
Is there a book with all the inner secrets?  Or better yet, is there
a simple C or Pascal source that I might look at.

Please assist enterprise!  We are in trouble!
