The question mark means that the value of the variable is undefined at
start-up. In a "real" assembler program this is useful when using arrays
(ex.  bigarray dw 10000 dup(?) ), as the undefined data won't take up as
much space in the resulting executable as data with a predefined value would
(at least not with tasm/wdosx or masm).
