I've allocated the memory with __dpmi_allocate_dos_memory.  I've now got a
pointer to the segment (I assume that's what is returned).  So now I'm
trying to put this into an element of the structure that is expecting a char
far *.  I'm really confused about this.

I've found loads of info about passing a segment:offset in registers, but
not putting it into the structure to call the interrupt.
