Int 21 Fn 51 - DOS 2+ Internal - Get Current Process Id (get Psp Address [D]
AH = 51h
Return: BX = segment of PSP for current process
Notes: DOS uses the current PSP address to determine which processes own files
and memory; it corresponds to process identifiers used by other OSs
under DOS 2.x, this function cannot be invoked inside an INT 28h
handler without setting the Critical Error flag
under DOS 3+, this function does not use any of the DOS-internal stacks
and may thus be called at any time, even during another INT 21h call
supported by OS/2 compatibility box
identical to the documented AH=62h
this call was undocumented prior to the release of DOS 5.0
