   Correction: Should have been 12h, not 11h. I didn't used this stuff   
   the last 25 years, so my apologies for the wrong function number.

   00...0F are 16 bits used as "flags". AL and AH are 8 bit registers.   
   I guess, 16 bits will not fit into one of both (AL or AH). Try with   
   AX (hint: the lower 8 bit are stored in AL, the upper 8 bit in AH).

   My table is stored in two different places (functions 02h and 12h),   
   the Keystroke itself can be obtained with function 10h.   
      
   (If you assume your users might use keyboards designed for original   
   8086 PCs, you have to check that, too - those keyboards do not have   
   the "extended" keys.)
