   AFAIK thats still an instruction that does not exist ...   
      
   Just to satisfy my curiosity, could you look up (in the .LST file ?) what   
   machine code is generated from that line and post it  ?

   :-)   Your assembler responds a bit different than mine.    A "mov ax,   
   label" causes mine to load the contents (regardless of the presence of   
   square brackets), and throws an error if the target register size does not   
   match the data size/type of the label).   I need to add an "offset" prefix   
   for the label to load its address: "mov ax,offset label".

   Thank you for telling me.  Its good to hear that offered help did indeed do   
   so. :-)
