(Physical := 16 * segment + offset). : Sounds like what you are saying is that for the user model (of the : language and implementation in this case) the segmenation stuff is : hidden and thus irrelevant. True? Hmmmm, well my whole purpose for using an absolute address array was to get at Screen Memory to do some enhanced IO since I couldn't find any such thing in Gnat. You know stuff like colored text, filling various portions of the screen in color, etc... I might also have tried my hand at poking into other keyboard addresses for some better keyboard handling (if possible, last time I did anything close I just wrote my own keyboard ISR and installed it in place of the original and chained the original from there). The reason that would have happened is because Get_Immediate seems to wait for CR before processing, which for me isn't what I want. Of course there still is the PDCurses package I managed to leech so I can go for interfacing with C code at this point.
