Just in case I didn't just mention I don't WANT to use dos, I DON'T!!! OK?

That sounds better :-)

What computer was that? I looked into the bios of my NMS 8250 (not
recently, ok) and I'm pretty sure it reads the keyboard every
vdp-interrupt. Hey, I just found the solution! I'll just switch off the
interrupts, using vdp(1). When my program returns from the dos-call, I can
switch them on again. :-)

The idea is good for small things. But actually, I was planning to make
big things. Sorry, I mean BIG, or even HUGE. And well, I have my own
page-0 routines already anyway. Including memory manager, device manager
and string handling routines. I want to add my joynet routines in it. I
also will add a multitasker soon. Those are not the kind of things you
want to run under BASIC, or with BASIC switched in memory...
But thanks for the help. Now I do have the answer anyway :-)
