  Syntax:   .STACK [size]
 
  See also: @stack, .MODEL, .DATA, .DATA?, .FARDATA, .FARDATA?,
            .CODE, .CONST, SEGMENT, Table of Memory Models
 
  Description:
 
     Creates the program stack segment (with segment name STACK) nested
     inside the current segment, if any. The .MODEL directive must
     precede this directive. The .MODEL directive generates a GROUP
     statement that places the STACK segment in DGROUP unless the
     FARSTACK attribute is given.
 
     A single .STACK statement opens and closes the stack segment,
     so you should not include an additional ENDS statement.
 
     The <size> parameter specifies size of the stack in bytes (default
     1024).
