	I hope this is not too much to ask, but can someone give me a quick
rundown on how to write memory resident programs for the IBM PC ?
	I would like to write in Microsoft C a memory resident (pop-up)
that accesses a serial or MIDI port. A small example would be helpful.
	I have a general idea of the concept - steal an interrupt and use
the "exit but stay resident call". Points on what to touch and not to touch
would be helpful too.
	Thanks.
