I've written a couple of INITs using Lightspeed Pascal, and they work
okay, but now I'm really interested in going further.  How do you write
an INIT that hangs around in memory AFTER startup?  Screen savers, and
so forth, are obviously still running in the background, paying attention
to various things.  How do I get my program to do that?  When I've tried
to put the program into a loop, it just doesn't give control to the next
INIT, and if the program doesn't loop, it just ends.

Also, anyone know if it's possible to make INITs with Microsoft's
QuickBASIC or their BASIC Compiler?
