  Syntax:  .EXIT [exitcode]
 
  Generates a call to interrupt 21H, function 4CH, to exit from the
  program. Use of the optional exitcode parameter returns an exit code
  to DOS. The .MODEL directive must have previously been used. This
  directive should be used in any module that uses the .STARTUP
  directive; the assembler generates an advisory warning if you use
  .STARTUP without using .EXIT.
 
  exitcode    Optional return code. Can be a byte-sized register, memory
              location or constant. The .EXIT directive moves this value
              into AL.
