This document discusses INT 21h function 9 which prints a valid string terminated with '$' without needing a null terminator. It provides an example that gets a character from the user, prints it twice, and uses INT 21h function 9 to print the prompt string "ENTER: $". It also shows how the digits 0-3 can be printed by passing their ASCII values to INT 21h function 2.
