port so that it can be used as a secondary terminal.

PC As we've discussed previously, do not use CTTY NUL to hide the output of
TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs. Due to a quirk in tDOS, each TSR
program you load that way will permanently tie up two file handles, making
them unavailable to your other programs. Redirecting the output of a TSR to
NUL produces the same problem, though it ties up only one file handle each
time. If you have an EGA or VGA system it's much smarter to simply set every
palette color to black, as shown above.
