Ok, this is good to know.

This is also good to know. Interrupts are new to me. On a side note the 
procedure is called repeatedly using the noreturn keyword, but I'll 
change it to interrupt.

I had not used "interrupt" because this warning was emitted when I used it:
project1.lpr(139,25) Warning: Calling convention directive ignored: 
"OldFPCCall"

This makes sense.

Thanks very much for your input!
