     1. Copies current screen to printer. BIOS keyboard routine
        (Int 09h) calls Int 05h when it detects SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN
        combination or PRINT SCREEN key.
 
     2. Invoked by the 80x86 processor when conditions of BOUND
        instruction are not met. This interrupt should not be called
        directly. To trap BOUND errors, a program must set up a handler
        routine to gain control when the interrupt occurs.
