Hi,
I've started learning assembler recently, and its going quite well. I understand the use of basic instructions, and if I need something more complicated there is a good reference in this site.
My problem is that I can't find any info about use of segments.
Some examples use

Code:

.code
.data

some,

Code:

section '.code' code readable executable
section '.data' data readable writable

and if I try to write a .com application neither seems to work.

Do you know any articles/tutorials explaining that stuff?
Any replies appreciated

sections are only for .exe files. com files do not support sections, they are purely a binary image.

Thanks, that covers one point.
still...
Is a segment the same as a section?
What does the syntax of declaring a segment depend on?
What kinds of sections are there?
and so on...
