From Peter Norton's "PC Programmer's Bible": _Basic Interrupts_ (available only on IBM systems that have Basic in ROM) are assigned by Basic itself and are always available when Basic is in use. The reserved interrupt numbers are 80H through F0H (decimal 128 through 240). -- Weiqi Gao weiqigao AT a DOT crl DOT com
