OK, I've hooked up a VT52 to a serial port, set the TaskMgr 
foreground/background ratio to 1, and poked a command line out the serial
port using CTTY. I pulled out my old Rainbow version of Turbo Pascal V3.01A
and installed it for a VT52. I currently have two copies of a program 
running, one on the VT52 with the Rainbow Turbo Pascal and one on the console
with the PC-specific version of Turbo Pascal.

Two users! Almost like it was a real computer...

Guess I'll have to take a closer look at configuring WordStar 4 to run
a terminal now (I couldn't make it work on the Rainbow). Install a good
VT100 console emulation, get one of my dead VT220s working, and I'm set.
