not quite as complex as changing command.com... you use getintvec/setintvec, 
and make an interrupt procedure. when your program starts, you take control 
away from dos, and give it back on exit. in real mode it stuffs up if the 
program crashes, but in protected mode messy interrupts don't matter.
