I am currently working on a game called: "4 In A Row". I am trying to write the instructions of the game to appear on DOSBox when I load the game up. I want to display it in a certain location on the screen but I don't know how to do that.

I have outlined the code for the instructions.
Thank you very much for anyone who can help me.
The code:
inst1 db 'To drop a disc into one of the columns press: 1, 2, 3 or 4.',13,10,'$'
Instructions1:
lea dx, [inst1]
mov dx, offset inst1
mov ah, 9
int 21h
Try a "gotoxy" before displaying the text :
inst1 db 'To drop a disc into one of the columns press: 1, 2, 3 or 4.',13,10,'$'
;SET CURSOR POSITION (GOTOXY).
MOV DL, 20 ;SCREEN COLUMN.
MOV DH, 5 ;SCREEN ROW.
MOV AH, 2 ;SERVICE TO SET CURSOR POSITION.
MOV BH, 0 ;PAGE NUMBER.
INT 10H ;BIOS SCREEN SERVICES.
Instructions1:
lea dx, [inst1]
mov dx, offset inst1
mov ah, 9
int 21h
