I’ve written a multiple size text program base upon the \BC5
\BGI\bgidemo.c program. It writes the title in giant letters 
across the top of the screen (graphics-mode), and then passes to 
color1.c  which runs the rest of the program in text-mode. 
Except the computer is still in graphics-mode. 

So my question is, how can I close graphics-mode and startt up 
text-mode without the computer clearing the screen ( It always 
did this in PowerC for DOS). 

color1.c is defined as extern "C" void color1(void); in bgidemo.c

Target = Application
Platform = DOS standard
BGI is checked

--------- fragment of BC5\BGI\bgidemo.c
void SayGoodbye(void)
{
  struct viewporttype viewinfo;         /* Structure to read viewport   */
  int h, w, color=7;

THIS I DON’T NEED, DO I?
//MainWindow( "== Finale ==" );

setfillstyle( SOLID_FILL, color ); /* Set the color of box */
      setcolor( color );          /* Set the same border clor    */

  getviewsettings( &viewinfo ); //Read viewport settings
  changetextstyle( GOTHIC_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 6 );
  settextjustify( CENTER_TEXT, LEFT_TEXT );

  h = viewinfo.bottom - viewinfo.top;
  w = viewinfo.right  - viewinfo.left;
  cprintf( w/2, 40, "Moclips Beach Association" ); //w/3, h/3,

  //getviewsettings( &viewinfo ); //+++Read viewport settings
setcolor( color );                //Set the same border color
  changetextstyle( TRIPLEX_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 1 );
  settextjustify( CENTER_TEXT, LEFT_TEXT );

  h = viewinfo.bottom - viewinfo.top;
  w = viewinfo.right  - viewinfo.left;
  cprintf( w/2, 65, "[F1 for help]" );

  //StatusLine( "Press any key to EXIT" );

HERE I WANT TO CLOSE GRAPHICS-MODE AND START TEXT-MODE,
BUT NOT CLEAR THE SCREEN
//cleardevice(); /* Clear the graphics screen    */

}
