Hi,
   First, is it OK to ask questions about assembly programming in DOS on 
this list?
If so, here is my problem.
I am a real newb at assembly and am still learning the very basics.
I have this bit of code. The way I understand it, this should print out 
"10".
It does not. It prints some strange ASCII chars.

mov cx, 10
mov dx, cx
mov ah, 9
int 21

Where am I going wrong?

thank you for your help,
Michael
