Application-level support is cheating though I.e. that's not what we meant.

This is interesting, although of course it isn't really support by DOS. The explanation, which took me a while, is that you're supposed to redirect the input and output of the application using DOS, so that some of the input and output will work with the redirected keyboard/screen, but some other input and output will work with the default devices used by the BIOS interfaces (Int10/Int16).
