subject: Force close a MDOS session

If you can do assembler, the following asm will close an MSDOS
session under OS/2 in a "well-behaved" manner (without a trap):

0100 B44D          MOV     AH,4D
0102 CD21          INT     21
0104 F4            HLT
0105 02FD          ADD     BH,CH

--Is your TSR going to watch for a semaphore from an OS/2 program?
Been there, done that, decided all 32-bit code was even better. Too
bad so much is still DOS/Windows.
