alright could you show me how to concatenate '$' to dx before I print Receive. Here's a cleaner version of the program. Line number eighteen is the line that needs concatenating.
Code:
ORG 100h ; Start at 100h memory DOS 16 bit .com files
USE16    ; Use 16 bit mode.
        ; Print line function $ is new line
        ; ah says print line dx is the line to print
        mov ah, 00001001b ; 09h
        mov dx, msg
        int 21h

        ; Receive line function
        mov ah, 3fh
        mov dx, Receive
        mov cx, 1Eh       ; 30d
        mov bx, 0h
        int 21h

        ; Call to 21h, again prints line Name
        mov ah, 09h
        mov dx, Receive
        int 21h

        ; Receive one character to STDIN stored in AL
        mov ah, 01h
        int 21h

PrintFiveCharacters:
        ; Write one character to STDOUT
        mov ah, 02h
        mov dl, al
        int 21h
        add cx, 1d
        cmp cx, 4d
        je PrintFiveCharacters

        ; Tell program to stay alive
        mov ah, 01h
        int 21h
        ; Exit program
        mov ah, 4ch
        int 21h

msg db 'Enter Name: ', '$' ; 0Ah is new line feed, '$' is end of line
Receive db 30d

MIXAL(1)							Mixal user's manual							  MIXAL(1)

NAME

       mixal - a load-and-go MIX assembler

SYNOPSIS

       mixal [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Mixal  is  an  implementation of the hypothetical MIX computer and its assembly language called MIXAL.  The computer was designed by Donald
       Knuth for use in his monumental and yet to be finished book series The Art of Computer Programming.  All programs and all programming exer-
       cises in the book are written in the MIXAL language.

       This  implementation  is  a  load-and-go  assembler,  meaning that you provide it with a MIXAL program source, which it translates into MIX
       machine code, which it promptly executes by acting as a MIX emulator.

       You give Mixal zero or more program source files in the command line, which the program interprets.   If  you  give  it	no  arguments,	it
       expects	to  find  a  program  in  the standard input stream.  After the program has executed, the final state of the machine registers are
       printed to the standard output stream.

       The card punch and line printer devices are connected to the standard input and output stream, respectively.  Console input and output  are
       connected  to  standard	input and output, and the disk devices are connected to files named diskN in the current directory, where N is the
       device number.  Those files are created on demand.

BUGS

       This MIXAL implementation does not do floating-point.  The tape devices are not implemented.

AUTHOR

       This MIXAL implementation was designed and written by Darius Bacon, and then ported to Unixish systems and debugged  by	Eric  S.  Raymond.
       This  version includes corrections to multiplication and division by Larry Gately.  This manual page was written for Debian by Antti-Juhani
       Kaijanaho, with changes by Darius Bacon.

SEE ALSO

       The files /usr/share/doc/mixal/READ.ME and /usr/share/doc/mixal/NOTES.gz contain some information about this MIXAL implementation.  Be sure
       to read /usr/share/doc/mixal/README.Debian, too.

       A  description  of  the MIX system and the MIXAL language can be found in Donald E. Knuth's book The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1:
       Fundamental   Algorithms;   3rd	 Edition   (Addison-Wesley   1997).    (Or   see   the	 home	 page	 at    http://www-cs-faculty.stan-
       ford.edu/%7Eknuth/taocp.html.)
