Nah, do it this way:
MOV AH, 2
MOV DL, 'D'
back: DB 'This is a comment'
ORG back
INT 21h
Saves a lot of space in your ROM by keeping the comment in the source,
where it belongs. We're still not too serious about all this, are we?
;-) So I can add that you may need to keep your comments shorter near
the end of the object code?
