INT 10h, 0Ah (10) Write Character at Cursor
Displays a specified character a specified number of times.
On entry: AH 0Ah
AL ASCII value of character
BH Display page number (text mode only)
CX Number of times to write character
Returns: None
Registers destroyed: AX, SP, BP, SI, DI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Display begins at the current cursor location on the specified display
page, but the cursor itself is not moved.
Notes: Use Service 09h for graphics modes, since it allows
the changing of colors.
In text mode, characters extending beyond the right
side of the screen wrap to the next line; in
graphics mode, they do not.
This service displays control characters as
printable characters, rather than as their cursor
control equivalents. For example, if AL is 13, then
the musical note will be displayed, rather than a
Carriage Return.
The difference between this service and Service 09h
is that this service doesn't allow the specifying of
the display attribute byte. This service uses the
current attribute at the cursor for the new
character.
