        mov    ah,2
        mov    dl,al
        mov    21h
        jmp    next

divnum: mov    fnum,al  ;stores whole num in fnum
        mov    al,10    ;divide by 10 to place first number in al and remainder in ah
        div    fnum
        add    al,48
        mov    snum,ah  ;stores second digit
        mov    ah,2
        mov    dl,al  ;display first digit

RE: outputing numbers from an array

Your interpretation of the div instruction is wrong.

DIV divides the number in DX:AX or AX by the data you specify.

For example:
mov cl,10
mov ax,50
div cl
ret

will return with al=5, ah=0.

What you tried to do was divide 10 by the number, not divide the number by 10 to get the tens digit.

And here's some research work for you:
There is already an instruction which does the work your divnum routine is doing.  Find it.  Hint: it is one of the 'Ascii Adjust' instructions.
