Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

▀ The string must be terminated with the character $ (24H), which is not
  transmitted. Any other ASCII codes, including control codes, can be em-
  bedded in the string.
 
▀ See Int 21H Functions 02H and 06H for single-character output to the
  video display or standard output device.
 
▀ If a CTRL+C is detected at the keyboard, an Int 23H is executed.
 
▀ You can also send strings to the display by performing a write (Int 21H
  Function 40H) using the predefined handle for the standard output
  (0001H), if it has not been redirected, or using a handle obtained by
  opening the logical device CON.
