Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The string must be terminated with the character $ (24h), which is
     not transmitted. Any other ASCII codes, including control codes,
     can be embedded in the string.
 
     See Int 21h Functions 02h and 06h for single-character output to
     the video display or standard output device.
 
     If CTRL+C is detected at the keyboard, an Int 23h is executed.
 
     You can also send strings to the display by performing a write
     (Int 21h Function 40h) using either the predefined handle for the
     standard output (0001h) if it has not been redirected or a handle
     obtained by opening the logical device CON.
