     @renewedrebecca @mos_8502 It's Virtual 8086 mode on the 386, with virtual terminals.

     Control-1 - 4 on the numeric keypad to switch terminals.

     @mos_8502 @robdaemon Pretty sure it just virtualized the 386.

     @robdaemon How does the multitasking work? Virtual terminals?

     @robdaemon I'll look it up. Might be fun to play with on my retro PC.

     @mos_8502 Yeah I'm going to put all this on my 486 too since I got Concurrent DOS 386 running there.

     @robdaemon What's the GEM GUI application API like, anyway? Is there a C interface?

     @mos_8502 There's a C toolkit - GEM Programmers Toolkit.

     I've never used it though.

     @robdaemon Needs a more recent, patched version of GEM with proper window management.

     @robdaemon @renewedrebecca @mos_8502 Is this different from what DOS Shell in MS-DOS 4--6 could do? I honestly don't remember. Did it suspend inactive sessions or did it multitask?
