FS is not a value you can use directly.
The 32 bit address of FS:0 is 0

The BDS debugger doesn't seem to want to show the FS: data.
However, the older TD32 does seem to allow the data window to accept
FS:0 as an address, and translates it into the program's memory space

In my case, :7FFDE000 E0 FF 16 00 00 00
which is an appropriate stack address.

Each thread will have it's own FS: and so a different area in the
program's memory.
