lseek to the spot, then write 0 bytes.  Works every time...

You can't.  Assuming that what you want to do is pop up a TSR via
programmatic control, you have to wire yourself into the TSR's INT 9
handler, and trick it into thinking the key combination was struck (even
though it wasn't).  I have done this with several TSR's, but there is 
no general way to do it (i.e., no way which involes just pushing the key
combination)

An obvious fake.  The USSR no longer exists.  (I know they changed their
name recently; don't know off hand what the new name is...)
