Hello Javier,

I've been dealing with the DSM documentation, but this is barely the API prototypes and the several data structures and constant values that these use. There are no significant examples and what I've found on the Web is also poor material.

So it's not just me. :-) Good to know!

I'll have to wrap up my sleeves and try.

I'd love to see some DSM examples somewhen, if you're willing to share your insights!

Since the input buffer is still there, that's the right moment to invoke the *QsnReadImm* API which is a non-AID-generating read input from the screen, and that should probably bring me the data that I'm expecting: the one the user may have typed in.

This proves (in a twisted way) my guts feeling of "there must be a possibility to do this". You know, the OS can set the message waiting indicator on a terminal at any time, without intervention from the currently running application. This made me think there *must* be an asynchronous way to obtain data from the terminal without any read or write in the usual way.

:wq! PoC
