Come on Jeff, any reasonably sensitive netter should be able to come up with a
more constructive reply than that.  Isn't this kind of thing what this forum is
for in the first place?  Granted, it's a simple task, but Bo may be new to
tickling the 8088's.  Give a guy a break!  (just my half-a-nibble)

BTW, *God* doesn't think he's a *programmer*....what's with you? 

As for my reply....RTFM.  ;-)
(You may learn more in just a few minutes than if I were to give you the code.)
(If you're still stuck, e-mail me.  I'd be happy to help.)
