JMP target

          Jump Condition:  Jump always

    JMP always transfer control to the target location. Unlike CALL, JMP
    does not save IP, because no RETurn is expected. An intrasegment JMP
    may be made either through memory or through a 16-bit register; an
    intersegment JMP can be made only through memory.

       Notes:         If the assembler can determine that the target of an
                      intrasegment jump is within 127 bytes of the current
                      location, the assembler will automatically generate
                      a short-jump (two-byte) instruction; otherwise, a 3-
                      byte NEAR JMP is generated.

                      You can force the generation of a short jump by
                      explicit use of the operator "short," as in:

                              JMP  short near_by
