INT 2F - EXTENDED MEMORY SPECIFICATION (XMS) v2+ - GET DRIVER ADDRESS
        AX = 4310h
Return: ES:BX -> driver entry point
Note:   HIMEM.SYS v2.77 chains to previous handler if AH is not 00h or 10h
SeeAlso: AX=4300h
Perform a FAR call to the driver entry point with AH set to the function code
        AH      function
        00h  Get XMS version number
             Return: AX = XMS version (in BCD, AH=major, AL=minor)
                     BX = internal revision number
                     DX = 0001h if HMA (1M to 1M + 64K) exists
                          0000h if HMA does not exist
How do I access this? It says to make a far call to the driver entry point 
address to get the info, but I have no idea how to do this in PowerBasic...
thanks for any help in advance,
Jason Eicholtz
