Int 21 Fn 31 - DOS 2+ - Terminate And Stay Resident [D]
AH = 31h
AL = return code
DX = number of paragraphs to keep resident
Return: never
Notes: the value in DX only affects the memory block containing the PSP;
additional memory allocated via AH=48h is not affected
the minimum number of paragraphs which will remain resident is 11h
for DOS 2.x and 06h for DOS 3+
most TSRs can save some memory by releasing their environment block
before terminating (see AH=26h,AH=49h)
