Okay.  With the help of Bill Currie's selector function snipped
out of the fact I'm not having any difficulty accessing text mode
VRAM.  But I have no idea how it works or why.  I'm pretty much
at sea with every aspect of text mode.

There seem to be tons of tutorials on graphics mode, especially
mode 0x13, but they all seem to take text mode for granted.
Does anybody know of anything that will take me by the hand
through text mode from square one?
