Hi everybody. 
I am programing in dos. 
I set graphics_mode to 256.
I set text_rows to 50.
I load a bitmap.
I try to display the bitmap. 
Doesn't display. 
Why not?

I want mode 256 because it is the only graphics mode that
lets me assign different background colors to each letter,
instead of only one background color for all letters. In the
other graphics modes if I change the background color
all the black bits of the image also change. Not nice.
50 lines allows a lot more text information on the screen.
It should at least display the image half height or something.
