Dear Sean,
In DJGPP you have to use the AT&T syntax for assembly wich is a 
bit hard for newcomers to learn. The FAQ has more details wich 
would be very useful for you in Section 17.1.

If you want to use the Intel syntax (the normal one you are used to 
) you can use NASM as your assembler.
you can get it at
< ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutl/ >
or the home page
<http://www.cryogen.com/Nasm>
Bye!
And Enjoy DJGPP!
