Dos?  How newfangled.  I had to use the debugger to patch the terminal
control sequences for my (text) terminal emulator under CP/M into
WordStar.  Yes, the manual contained the patch locations and
descriptions for the terminal sequences and geometry.

It was only for later versions that a program was provided that asked
the respective questions about your terminal control sequences and did
the patching on its own.

I am not sure that configuration has become so much more difficult.
