"Beginners" will have difficulties in ANY assembly-language, which is
why it is taught at colleges so little, and "C" is taught so much.

Upon changing UIDE's 2 commands of the above form to use "BX", rather
than "BL", UIDE assembles to an identical .SYS file. Thus MASM V5.1
"forgives" this harmless misreading of the 80386 manual.
