:The only way I can think of now is to create global data that I can look
:at after Debugger() has been called (in fact, this is what I'm going to
:do next). Question was, is there a better/more elegant way?

:But it was interesting so far, I learned a few things, set up serial gdb...

As a severe hack I sometimes write directly to video memory, which is
usually at 0xb8000 (0xc00b8000). In character mode video memory
operates in 16 bit chunks, where you store 0xABCD where A is the
background color, B is foreground color, and CD is the character
code. So, for example, 0x0741 should store an 'A'.
