__dpmi_int is very similar to int86.  Sections 18.2, 18.4 and 18.5 of the
DJGPP FAQ list explain how to use it, and provide code samples.  If, after
reading that, something is still unclear, please ask specific questions.

As for the relevant functions of Int 13h, you should be able to find them in
Ralf Brown's Interrupt List; I think they are functions 42h and 43h.
