I should've known that:-)

In this case i was looking at my getch() function, which uses INT16.
Unfortunately, there are at least three types of k/boards commonly in 
use, and they're read with different values in AH 0x01,0x11,i forget the 
third . So in order to make this function realize, which one to use i have 
to access the CMOS to get the KB IDbyte, and set AH accordingly. 
A #define would've been beutiful, but the way it is, the IDbyte has to be 
fetched on each call or placed in a static char on the first call, but that 
still adds an if statement. I think the #define (had it worked),would've 
been justified for this one ?
