DOSRW

Customer has dozens of programs that run in background. At completion they run a small program that puts a message on the control line.

-----------------------------------
!========================== VIDEO DISPLAY FORMATS ===========================!
!
MESSAGE: FORMAT (RB);(WC);_
' YOUR REPORT IN ';PARTITION$;' MAY NOW BE PRINTED.'
!
!========================== EXECUTABLE STATEMENTS ===========================!
!
3000!
CLEAR LOCAL
ERRORTO 9800
!
3100!=============== SEND MESSAGE ====================================
LET AX$ = '@FFFF@'
DOSRW(AX$,ITERM$,43,MESSAGE), EXCP = 9990
GOTO 9990
---------------------------
Works in Comet16 not in Comet32. But doesn't error the BG partition.

Is there an alternative method?
