ASM code problem

As you all have been noticing lately, I have been pretty active on this
mailing list.  Remember, I am the writer of the ASH <-> OShell-82
Development Kit.  I am also adding two major improvements in the next two
versions.  I need a little help with some code.

  push hl                  ; Temporarily store hl on the stack
  push de                  ; Temporarily store de on the stack
  ld hl,$38FA              ; $38 -> l, $FA -> h
  ld de,(ROM_LOCATION)     ; $00 -> e, $00 -> d
  add hl,de
  ld (FINAL_ADDR),hl
  pop de                   ; Retrieve de from the stack
  pop hl                   ; Retrieve hl from the stack
  call (FINAL_ADDR)

Could someone please go through and tell me what each of the uncommented
lines does (in terms of $38 and $FA).  Also, I need to know how the call
statement works (how it reads the value located in FINAL_ADDR).

THIS IS VITAL INFO. THAT I NEED TO FINISH THE NEXT VERSION OF ASH <->
OSHELL!!!

TIA,
Thomas J. Hruska
