		structure must be set to one of the values represented
		by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.

		This API function is non-blocking.  PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS
		and PXENV_STATUS_SUCCESS is returned if a data block
		has been transferred into the caller's buffer.
		PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE and PXENV_STATUS_TFTP_OPEN is
		returned if no data is available to transfer; any
		other status code reflects an error.

Description:	Read from a previously opened file.

		returned in AX.  The Status field in the parameter
		structure must be set to one of the values represented
		by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.

		If this API is present and the Magic field contains the
		proper value on entry, AX will contain PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS,
		the Status field PXENV_STATUS_SUCCESS, and the Magic field
		the number 0xe9c17b20.  Any other combination should be
		considered a failure.
