TSR = Terminate and Stay Resident

This is a program that remains memory-resident when it terminates back
to DOS.  Normally, DOS reclaims the memory used by a terminating program.
Such applications generally take over an interrupt to perform, for example,
a "hot key" function or spool output to a printer.
