  Syntax:  ASSUME segregister:name [,segregister:name]...
 
  Informs the assembler that at run time, the given segment register
  will point to the named segment or group. The assembler uses this
  information to correctly calculate offsets.
 
  Each time you load a new value into a segment register, you should
  inform the assembler of this fact by using an ASSUME statement.
 
  segregister   CS, DS, ES, or SS
 
  name          The name of a previously defined segment or group, or
                NOTHING, will tells the assembler that the segment register
                currently holds no useful value.
