DSAVE

Dynamically (at run-time) save a file to a mass storage. The DSAVE command allows you to (dynamically) save a file to a mass device. The syntax allows you to save a specific file (filename) starting from a specific offset within the file, from a specific address in memory for a certain number of bytes. Note that the behavior of this instruction strictly depends on the target where it is executed. It follows that not all options are necessarily available on every target.
