VC++ __ASM question

[CubeE101]

why does the example on the VC++ MSDN disk show...

// Example of the __asm keyword
__asm                  // __asm block
{
   mov eax, 01h
   int 10h
}

(in the index under __asm)

But it gets an error when you run it???

Is it because of WinXP???

Is there a way to switch to Screen mode 13 with VC++ ???
Such as...

__asm
{
   mov eax, 13h
   int 10h
}

Or is that not considered to be a 32bit Application???????

I am trying this with VC++ 6.0, Win32 Console App, empty project...
Source File included is asmtest.cpp (under Source Files in project tree)
File includes the following...

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
__asm                  // __asm block
{
   mov eax, 13h
   int 10h
}
}

it compiles fine, but then crashes... "ASMtest.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

Thanks in Advance for ANY info on this subject...

Look at the Console API in the Platform SDK on msdn.microsoft.com
