Internal operating system usage.

OS_Bix and OS_Box are called from GN_ or OS_ 2 byte calls. Binds in extended or local address, identified by BHL (B=0 local) into segment 1. The (offset) address is automatically forced to segment 1, if necessary. If the address already are in segment 1 or 0, no binding occur (the bindings are still returned in DE). B = 0 always returned to indicate a local address in segment 1 or segment 0.

If request address was in segment 3 then segment 2 was not affected.
