Int 21 Fn 5D0A - DOS 3.1+ - Set Extended Error Information [D]
AX = 5D0Ah
DS:DX -> 11-word DOS parameter list (see AX=5D00h)
Return: nothing. next call to AH=59h will return values from fields AX,BX,CX,
DX,DI, and ES in corresponding registers
Notes: documented for DOS 5+, but undocumented in earlier versions
the MS-DOS Programmer's Reference incorrectly states that this call was
introduced in DOS 4, and fails to mention that the ERROR structure
passed to this function is a DOS parameter list.
BUG: DR-DOS 3.41 and 5.0 read the value for ES from the DS field of the DPL;
fortunately, MS-DOS ignores the DS field, allowing a generic routine
which sets both DS and ES fields to the same value
