Hmm, maybe I'll try to assemble this, does TASM do the job? I don't have a real 
OS/2 assembler, where would I find a decent one? I can vaguely remember ALP, 
does that ring a bell?

Yet another approach would be to do it in REXX or in a batch file, they have 
the same functionality (display a small message) and are smaller. ;-))
