ARG              Sets Up Argument Stack                        TASM Directive

  ARG argument [,argument] ...[=symbol] [RETURNS argument [,argument]]

     ARG is used inside a PROC/ENDP pair to help you link to high level
     languages. Using ARG, you can access arguments pushed onto the stack.

     argument describes a parameter the procedure is called with. After
     you use ARG, you can refer to each argument by name in your source
     code. TASM replaces each reference by the appropriate [BP + n] stack
     reference.

     List the arguments in the same order as they appear in the high level
     language call. Specify each argument like this:

                        name:[distance] type

     If you do not specify a type, WORD is assumed. After you use ARG, you
     refer to the arguments passed to the procedure by name in your code. For
     example,

                        MYPROC  PROC NEAR
                                ARG PAR1:WORD, PAR2:BYTE
                                :

     In the code that follows, you can now refer to PAR1 or PAR2, and the
     correct [BP + n] expression will be substituted automatically by the
     assembler.

     The optional RETURNS keyword indicates one or more arguments that
     will not be popped from the stack upon return.

       Notes:     See PROC for more information. You must first establish
                  the calling convention by specifying a language with the
                  .MODEL directive (e.g., specifying C makes the assembler
                  use the C calling convention).
