NOOOOOO! That's what makes the Amiga so great. Want a feature added? Make current window active, ASCII numeric keypad, screen blanking, and on... The Amiga's OS provide a way to add all these features to your computer and will work with all programs. Ever try writing Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) programs on an IBM? Let's see: get interrupt vector & save, re-route to your own routine, filter out & pass on to next interrupt in the chain (PLEASE), do your works (NO DOS ROUTINES, OF COURSE!) Of course, every TSR program should be installed last in your autoexec.bat file :--) William B. Norris IV
