Hi all.
I've an assembly written keyboard handler which I want to install to
interrupt 9. I understand pretty much what to do after reading through
the FAQ but the only bit I don't understand is the section which reads:
"Lock all the memory your handler touches and the code of the handler
itself and any function it calls with a series of calls to
__dpmi_lock_linear_region".

How do I know which regions to lock and how much of these to lock?
I have never worked in protected mode before so I don't understand that
much about it.

Thanks,
Alex
