To all the computer experts out there,

       I have been using the PC for quite a number of years now. But I
just don't know where/how I could start learning about TSR's. For all 
I know TSR is a resident program that stays in the memory after it is 
terminated, and that it can be activated through certain combination of 
special keys. What I want to know here is:

[1] How to write TSR programs?
[2] Do you need special compilers for TSR?
[3] What books are recommended? 
[4] Where can I find these books?
[5] Can anyone of you experts give me some pointers on TSR programming so
    that I can get started? I think some examples of beginner's programming
    on TSR would benefit me tremendously. I am just a beginner in this 
    field. So please don't talk to me in language so technical that I can't
    understand.

Other helpful hints/pointers are welcomed.
All help is very much appreciated.
