Doing a 

OPEN FILE
WRITE FILE
CATALOG
CLOSE

For some reason drops DOS 3.3 into the monitor. For a long time I tried in
vain to get this kind of thing to work, doing all sorts of wierd things like
custom input vectors to directly store screen output in other memory. Nothing
worked, so I assumed it was DOS's fault (now I realize that I was probably
forcing DOS to be re-entrant and recursive, something it definitely was NOT
built to do)
