Check out int 10h, function 13h.  The following program illustrates
the use of this function.

cseg segment
assume cs:cseg, ds:cseg
org 100h
 
begin: jmp main
 
buf       db     "This is my test string--printed out as"
          db     "yellow text on a black background.",13,10
len       dw     $ - buf
 
main:
   mov ah,13h                    ;write_string function (int 10h)
   mov al,0
   mov bl,0eh                    ;color attribute yellow on black
   mov bh,0                      ;page
   mov dh,20
   mov dl,2                      ;dh,dl = row, col of start of string output
   mov cx,len                    ;cx holds length of string
   mov bp,offset buf             ;es:bp==>start of string
   int 10h
 
   mov ax,4c00h
   int 21h
cseg   ends
end   begin
