TSR means "terminate and stay resident"--it's a term describing
little utilities and drivers which install themselves in RAM and
remain there waiting to be invoked. If you have the Norton Utilities,
you can use SysInfo to get a list of the TSRs active on your machine.
They're generally loaded by CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT at boot-up; a
"clean boot" is a boot with no TSRs.
