Oh, I thought it was fine because, for example, there's one in the help file
example
----------------------------------------------------------
unsigned short shift_state;
dosmemget(0x417, 2, &shift_state);
if (shift_state & 0x0004)
  /* Ctrl key pressed */;
----------------------------------------------------------
but I'll give it a try..... OK, program still works, thanks.  After logging off
I'll reboot to DOS and see if that changes anything.

Yes, vesainfo gets filled in which is why I found the strings not working part
so strange.
Anyway though, thanks for your help.
