Attempting to show the hex contents of a pointer in debug is difficult; by
doing what I did I managed to show the actual hexadecimal contents of the
pointer.

The DS is 16 bytes long, and those 16 bytes are the actual contents of the
pointer.  Had I used the "based" keyword, the data structure pBaseDS would
have been treated as if it started where pBase pointed.  Instead, this way
it contains the contents of pBase.
