   I dont know you version, but my german W2k Prof behaves almost as W98.   
   Here the slightly enhanced program (with labels to mark the three   
   outputs).   
      
   uses   
     dos;   
   var   
     regs: registers;   
   begin   
     writeln('1:',memw[Seg0040:$4a]);   
     writeln;   
     memw[Seg0040:$4a] := 78;   
     writeln('2:',memw[Seg0040:$4a]);   
     writeln;   
     regs.AH := $f;   
     intr($10,regs);   
     writeln('3:',regs.ah);   
   end.   
      
   And the output modula newsreader word wrap

   Seriously: I wanted to say that most BIOSes get the AH output from   
   $40:$4A,, AL from $40:$49, and BH from $40:$62. Explicit stated and   
   written in plain clear English in my (old) Phoenix Technical Reference
