I have seen some vague mention of the ability to write interrupt handlers
in msc v5.0. I have exhaustively searched (RTFFFFFFM) the docs, and none
of the table of contents, or indexes seem to have anything relevant to my
search. 
Well hidden in the library manual, are the routines:
	_enable
	_disable
	_dos_getvect
	_dos_setvect
	_dos_keep
	_chain_intr

discreatly embedded in these descriptions, are lines like

interrupt far *target;		(page 155, 206, 224)

which looks like a reserved word (interrupt) used to trigger the compiler
to use a RETI rather than a RET or RETF instruction. 

WHY CANT I FIND ANY DOCUMENTATION ON THIS RESERVED WORD??????????

If anyone has found (and dare I hope.... USED ) the documentation, please
tell me where I should be looking.

GRIPE ON

MS generates reasonably good tools and documentation, but the INDEXes STINK

GRIPE OFF
