Auxiliary console

With the command CTTY it is possible to switch to an auxiliary console.
All programs under MS-DOS can be run than via this aux-console.
Programs not using the MS-DOS keyboard-vector cause the aux-connection
to be broken (e.g. GW-BASIC, DBASE3).
Exiting these programs and entering MS-DOS again restores the connection.

Who knows what to do to influence the "stubborn" programs to listen 
to the auxiliary console?
