1. Segment/Offset vs Selector/Offset.

Is this the correct way of dealing with es/di for a protected mode program.
The function retrives screen info via ISR 0x10/Service 0x1b.
You place the segment address of a buffer in es and the offset in di but with a
protected mode program you have offset/selector.

Can some one briefly explain offset/selector to me.
Is it similar to segment/offset where the high byte of an address is the segment
address and the low byte is the offset?

// Determines the height and width of the screen.
void WindowC::GetDimensions()
{
  // We need a 64 byte buffer for the display info returned by the interrupt
  // function.
  static unsigned char Buffer[64];

  Regs.w.bx=0x0;

  // Place the segment and offset into es:di.
  SegRegs.es=Seg(Buffer);
  Regs.w.di=Off(Buffer);

  // Call interrupt 0x10, service 0x1b.
  Regs.w.ax=0x1b<<8;
  ScreenCall();
  ScreenWidth=0;

  // The screen width is at offset 0x5 in the buffer (2 bytes).
  memmove(&ScreenWidth,&Buffer[0x5],2);
  ScreenHeight=0;

  // The screen height is at offset 0x22 in the buffer (1 byte).
  memmove(&ScreenHeight,&Buffer[0x22],1);
