  Would people in this group please cast an eye over this code, especially
if you use inline asm & interrupts.  I'm new to the world of PMODE, as well
as the lower level stuff.  I've implemented interrupt service routines under
Turbo C, though.  (They make it so easy:).

   This code compiles, but crashes when I test it.  I've read the what the
info files and FAQ have to say, but the problem is still not obvious to me.

Note : I haven't locked any of the variables or code, but my test programs
       are so small they shouldn't need this.  Also, does one need to
       explicitly push and pop registers altered if extended asm isn't used?
       One way or the other it doen't seem to be my problem anyway.  (I've
       checked).

  BTW, I'd like to congratulate the author of RHIDE...  Made my life much 
easier.  It would be very nice if rhide could somehow integrate the existing
info files, though.  (I suppose this would be difficult if the info files
are being regularly updated).  Another enhancement could be interfacing
RHIDE with one of the debuggers, though I'm not sure if this practical
or even possible.
