		6Ch	Struct -FCB #2
		80h     command tail / default DTA buffer 
note 1) Used in DOS 2.x, 3.x uses 62h 
     2) Function 51h is dangerous in background operations prior to DOS 3.x as  
	it uses the wrong stack for saving registers.  (same as functions  
	0..0Ch in DOS 2.x)                                            
     3) 50h and 51h might be used if you have more than one process in a PC. 
	For instance if you have a resident program that needs to open a file 
	you could first call 51h to save the current id and then call 50h to set 
	the ID to your PSP. 
     4) Under DOS 2.x, this function cannot be invoked inside an int 28h handler 
	without setting the Critical Error flag 
     5) Used by DOS 3.3 PRINT, DEBUG
