Huh?  That's kinda rediculous.  All that is needed is to poke 1234h into
0040:0072 and jump to FFFF:0000...

BASIC Code: (make sure QB.LIB/QLB is loaded)
    DEF SEG = &H40
    POKE &H72, &H34
    POKE &H73, &H12
    DEF SEG = &HFFFF
    CALL ABSOLUTE (0)

Haven't tested it, but it should work.  Here is the asm equivalent...

0CF3:0100 BB3412        MOV BX,1234
0CF3:0103 B84000        MOV AX,0040
0CF3:0106 8ED8          MOV DS,AX
0CF3:0108 891E7200      MOV [0072],BX
0CF3:010C EA0000FFFF    JMP FFFF:0000
