Thanks for the hint.  My documentation that came with my (rather old) TC
package is rather small.   I just looked thru my "conio.h" file, and
discovered an extern int with the same name.   It looks to be ment (just
tested it) to switch between direct memory-writes, and INT 10h calls, which
is just what I need :-)   But i will Google for some more info about the
subject later.

One question though, if you don't mind : I mentioned "gotoxy" not wanting to
go to text-rows above 25, even when the video-mode I selected goes upto 30.
Can I somehow change that ?    Maybe a sort of reverse "gettextinfo" (or
simpler) -call ?

Regards,
  Rudy Wieser
