4dos: intercepting command lines

Question for any 4dos experts out there:

  I'm trying to write a program for 4dos that will impliment active functions
  [like the `command` in unix], and have determined that I would like to 
  intercept the command-input routine of 4dos.  That is, after a command has
  been typed in, I would like to interrupt and have the ability to modify 
  what the user entered.  

  The standard interrupt interfaces defined in 4dos.doc don't allow this, 
  because they all occur before the command is entered.  However, I've got
  a program that re-maps some characters [called 4map I think], so I know
  it's possible.  It seems to use int 0x2f to change some vectors, presumably
  pointers to a post-command parser or such.  I don't care to completely
  dis-assemble the program; so does anyone know how this mechanism works?

  Thanks in advance.
