Correct. I would suggest replacing the entire "clear" procedure with
clrscr, however.

No. Int 33 hex, is a call to the mouse, but this is a call to int 33
dec (21 hex). This interrupt does a great number of different things
(ranging from system reboot to determining what time it is). I'm not
at all familiar with int 21h, but I find it quite odd that AX is set
to such a high value. Normally, the subfunction number of the called
interrupt is stored in AL, and AX is set to 0. But, as I said, I
really don't know diddelysquat about int 21h (33).

I hope you got something useful from this admittedly non-informative
posting. Oh, well, you can't get it right every time.
