I could write it but I'm not going to <g> You could write it also if you know
a little C or if you download the NANFORUM PD library. It has a function
called FT_INT86() which enables you to call DOS interrupts directly from
Clipper. You'd want to use the DOS interrupt (INT 21h) using service 71h.
It isn't hard and if you're not already familiar with C and/or DOS interrupts
you may find the adventure worthwhile.
