The real question is this -- someone on this group last year told me where
in low memory to find the table that contains the base registers for each of
the three standard parallel ports.

I can tell this guy how to control the pins very easily once I know where
the base registers are ... in fact I've already done that.  40:40 rings a
bell, but I don't know why (and it's not right ... I looked there).
