The three people following to this point might wonder why Nomyso doesn't
just eliminate the 'DWord' in the $DEFINE statement and eliminate the
problem. Well, you can't automatically do that because the DWORD would be
necessary in some cases where you might use the %define'd _ScreenArea, such as:
mov eax,_ScreenArea
Correction. The 'mov eax,_ScreenArea' instruction would work without the
DWORD attribute because the data size is known through the register size.
Other instructions such as 'push _ScreenArea' would not work without the
DWORD attribute because NASM doesn't know the size of data to push without it.
