Hello there,

  I hate to say this but, if your asking where AH is when you have
AX in front of you, you had better get yourself a manual on 386
instruction codes.  Dealing with machine instructions is much more
critical then programming in a high level language like Euphoria.
You have to have a lot of information about registers and sometimes
even info on every single bit in those registers in front of you,
as well as what they do in response to various other conditions and
since the 386 even a bit more context sensitivity.
  Intel used to have alot of information on their web site, you might
just be able to download a manual on the Pentium with full instruction
set.  I myself got a manual there a few years back.
I wouldnt look at anything less than 386DX.  Thats the most basic with
all the programming models.  Usually you will be using 32 bit flat.
  On the bright side, you could do anything in assembly language.
You could build your own OS if you wanted to.

Well, good luck with assembly!

ps. if you have too much trouble finding that manual email me and i might be
able to send you a copy of the one i have. Its in a wordpad format with
variable font sizes etc.
