- This program was copied out of the 12/25 issue of PC Magazine as a windowing
- notepad. It works fine as is, but the description in the article as how to

- magazine there is also the source code in Assembly Code.

- and can be called up anytime. Rebooting or turning off the system naturally
- clears the memory, so to print the message use Prtsc.

- from the CTRL N to a CTRL ` didn
