I'm not sure if you're asking how to do a far call, or information on XMS
in general. You can "roll your own" far call, assuming that PB allows you to
insert bytes. Here's an example I just did in DEBUG:
9A 7856 3412 CALL 1234:5678
^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
| | |
op | |
offset |
segment
This is actually a far call, although DEBUG doesn't explicitly say "far".
The opcode for a far call is 9Ah (&h9A). After that comes the offset, and the
segment.
I can't give you more specific help as I don't use PB... :-(
