"Terminate and stay resident".  So-called TSR programs are loaded
into memory and stay there until you reboot.  These programs may
stay active at all times (like a keyboard buffer extender), or
may be called via "hot key" or another program.  The name is taken
from the operating system call that performs the operation of
terminating but keeping the program resident.
