These functions are used by application programs, especially TSRs, which
have special needs with regard to task switching; for instance, programs
which must prevent the DOS Shell from swapping them out or switching to
another program (say, via Alt+Tab). They also enable a TSR to maintain
instance data--a unique data area for each DOS session.
