How to write the world’s smallest “Hello World!” executable for PC

Ok, it may sound useless for modern PCs... but is amazing to watch how a 21 bytes .COM file can display text on screen. even on a 286 if you still have them :)
This guide will use "debug.exe", a nice app that comes after DOS 2.0 and you possibly have it on Windows folder if your running Windows OS. So, no need to download fancy assemblers or compilers.
I'll try to explain each step... but dont expect more that a text on screen...

A nice description about DEBUG.EXE can be found in...
