Subject: Takeing over interupt handlers

I know this is more of a C++ thing then an DJGPP thing but I though I
might give the croud a shot at this.

I have a Keyboard class which I want to use to take over the keyboard
interupt 0x09.  So I create an instance of _go32_dpmi_seginfo for the old
handler and my new one.  I then _Try_ to get the segment:offset address
for my handler and then set my function as the new handler.
Well In created a test function that shout print what key is currently
pressed but when I run it, and hit a few keys, nothing happends.  Now I've
tried everything I could to get the new handler installed past the old one
but I can't seem to get it right.  Is it possable to override an interupt
with a C++ class function?  Or do I have to do it in regular C and bear
with it?
     Well, I know I must have confused everyone know about what I want so
I'll stop.  But if you think you know what I'm talking about, e-mail me.
Please.
