pause program

[yuriythebest]

how do I pause the program so it doesn't just disappear instantly?

The usual approach seems to be to wait for a key press.

thanks! I now have this simple program

start: ; The CODE entry point to the program

print chr$("Hey, this actually works.",13,10)
int 16h
exit

; «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««

end start ; Tell MASM where the program ends

it does display the message however it also throws an exception or something at the end

So what sort of garbage are you passing to int 16 in the various registers?
