Pardon my ignorance, but how do you know it polls the keyboard, and if it
(or any program) doesn't poll the keyboard, how is it supposed to know when
a key is hit?

This is what I think of when I see the phrase "poll the keyboard."

while( 1 ) {
  rc = KbdCharIn( &ki, 1, 0 );
  DosSleep( 5 );  // give up time slices this drops the CPU usage from
                  // %100 to %5 in this example
}
