i can't print text to the string using asm. it prints, but not the stuff i
want (just a bunch of garbled ascii characters with beeps and stuff.) 
here is the code i am/was using...

<-----start----->

char *myHappy;      /* i have also tried using a character */

void main()
{

myHappy = "Hello, world!";

asm("movw _myHappy, %dx");
asm("movb $9, %ah");
asm("int $0x21");       

}

<-----end----->

Thanx...
    Paul

P.S. is this because of the p-mode & passing data to the conventional
memory etc...?
