 Okay, here is what i understand of this.
  |Terminal|                       Goes back to terminal  <--=
      |                            Save the byte, but how     |
 |Key pressed| -> |TSR program|    it returns control to      |
                      |            TSR program. And how       |
                      |            it doesn't overwrite the   |
                      |            current TSR window?        |
                      |                                       |
                  |Irq interrupt| (bytes received) -----------
