Well, I guess I was blowin' off some steam when I posted 
that article. Gotta be more carful.

I was the victim of vague books (Howard Sams Co.) 
which discuss a "segment" as a 64KB chunk only. 
Nowhere do they say that a segment refers to 16B 
chunks and that "offset" is NOT the offset within 
the "current segment" but is really just a pointer 
to any location above the base "address" of the 
current segment (segment X 10h).

Thanks for your assistance.

Cliff
