BIOS calls? Y'know, I once argued for a vm86intr() (or whatever it is
called) on FICL, in case applications needed it.
As for setting registers ti specific values... huh? Why does this
matter? Can you explain exactly what your code does and how?
I'd much prefer this could be done from a .4th file, as this is
something ports and third-parties might like to do.

I try to keep it a secret. :-) While the exec="" stuff allows for
arbitrary code execution (as do _after, _before and _error), this sort
of thing is best avoided if possible on a configuration file. This
particular case, though, is precisely the kind of exception to the rule
I had in mind.

Hmmm - I have to go check this. My reality assumptions are shattered.
