It might be exciting to add task swapping based on that new ...DEBUG feature to JEMM or similar drivers, given that DR DOS has taken a similar path before?

Hotkeys could be used decide which task is the one running and connected to keyboard, mouse, VGA etc. Depending on which text and graphics state details are to be supported, it could be a lot of work. Just watching the DEBUG news in awe
