Dave,

Thanks a bunch for the code below. 
I think I need to scrap my code and use this instead. 
Oh well, live and learn.  I think that any time I plan
to do something, I should ask if it has already been
done...
This works great on my system.  I think the problem
that I am having with the XGF Demo is on the input
side.  The screen writing seems to work fine.

Thanks so much.

Kevin
