	Turbo C (1.5) has a function in the standard libraries for
this.  I discovered this after writing my own, then writing a program
that used it and having it work without linking in the correct library.
The functions are:
	int	getswitchar();	/* returns the currect switch character */
	int	setswitchar(char);	/* set the current switchar */

( funny how I managed to name my functions the right thing.. )
