But, you can't redirect int 09h !  It is something every user working in
almost any other language than English learn very soon : keyboard interface
that change the keyboard to support French or other "foreign" characters
just won't work with Windows :-( and you have to use the foreign language
drivers included with Windows.  I don't know what actually Windows does,
but it is like it was detecting original BIOS entry points and removing them
while in Windows, but it gives them back while in a DOS windows (i.e.
inside WIndows, WIndows keyboard driver is active; outside Windows and inside
DOS window, DOS keyboard driver is active).
