LDS             Load Pointer Using DS                Flags: Not altered

LSS destination,source  (CPU: 386+)

        Logic   destination    . offset part of source
                DS|ES|FS|GS|SS . segment part of source

    The data pointer instructions load a full pointer, consisting of a
    segment value (in protected mode: a segment selector) and an
    offset value, into a segment register and a general register.

    The source operand must be a memory operand. The destination
    operand must be a general register. The destination register loads
    16 bits if the operand-size attribute is 16, otherwise 32 bits.

        Example:
                dataseg
                scrPtr  dw 0,0b800h
                codeseg
                les     di,[dword ptr scrPtr]
                assume  es:nothing


    Protected mode
    A null selector (values 0000-0003) can be loaded into DS,ES,FS, or
    GS without causing a protection exception. (Any subsequent
    reference to a segment whose corresponding segment register is
    loaded with a null selector causes a #GP(0) exception. No memory
    reference to the segment occurs.)
