need help running my 16-bit code on masm32

[crazyhorse]

Hello everyone. I have a 16-bit code I want to run on masm32. For the life of me, I cannot get it to an .exe or .com file to work

basically I

1.open masm32.
2. type in my code which is about 300 lines
3. save the file in the masm32 folder as dracula.asm
4. click on the command prompt icon on masm32

3. type \masm32\bin\ml /c dracula.asm                       <<< dracula is the name of my file
4. type \masm32\bin\link16 dracula.obj

but then i get

5. Run File [ dracula.asm] :   .....     I don't konw what to type here...
6. List FIle [nul.map]:      I don't know what to type here either
7. Libraries [.lib]:   
8. Definitions File [ nul.def]:

basically i don't know what to input into 5-8 steps above.

I tried to just press ENTER for lines 5-8 without typing anything but then i get "THERE WAS AN ERROR IN CREATING" when i run dracula.exe file

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The problem is no-one can help you unless you show them what the code is you are trying to build.

The old 16-bit linker needed 4 parameters, you can supply them all seperated by a comma or just use defaults.
link16 dracula,,,,
or
link16 dracula;

Now I make OBJECT without errors, but can't LINK it.
C:\masm32\bin\ml.exe /AT /c NONAME.asm
The reason was:

CSEG segment
assume cs:CSEG
org 100h
_Begin:

ret
CSEG ends
end _Begin

in uderline sign before Begin
