INT 21 - DOS 2+ internal - CREATE CHILD PSP AH = 55h DX = segment at which to create new PSP SI = (DOS 3.0+) value to place in memory size field at DX:[0002h] Return: AL destroyed Notes: creates a "child" PSP rather than making an exact copy of the current PSP; the new PSP's parent pointer is set to the current PSP and the reference count for each inherited file is incremented (DOS 2.0+) sets current PSP to DX (DOS 3.0+) marks "no inherit" file handles as closed in child PSP this function is implemented using the same code as AH=26h, so unlike other DOS 2+ functions, it does not return status in CF, instead returning status in AL as DOS 1.x functions do (but it never puts an explicit return value in AL) SeeAlso: AH=26h,AH=50h
