[Dev-C++] assembly help

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

will some one please help me figure out what is wrong with the following 
program

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
   char x, password[50];
   cout << "Please enter your password" << endl;

   do{
      // this code reads a character from the keyboard but does not echo it
      asm   mov AH,8
      asm    INT 21H
      asm    mov  x,AL
      // this cout should say why I want to do this
      cout << "*";
      // add x to the end of password
   } while (x != '\n');
   cout << endl;
   //the remainder of the program goes here
   system("PAUSE");
   return 0;
}
(this is an unfinished program)

I am getting the following erors
9   c:\windows\desktop\asm_eg.cpp    parse error before `AH'
10 c:\windows\desktop\asm_eg.cpp    nondigits in number and not hexadecimal

I do not understand what is the problem is as it works fine as part of a 
pascal program
