I need to do some assembler coding and I can’t find any info on system calls
or interacting with the kernel. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

I think your best bet would be to disassemble a call written
in ‘C’ and then follow the example. The system calls themselves
may be in DLL’s and subject to dynamic change from version to
version.

Or you could use the C calling convention and push parameters on to the
stack (in reverse order) and just do a call to the C function.
