The code to do this is called ShowINIT() and was written by Paul Mercer.  It is
in the public domain and available directly from him.  Sorry I don't have his
address handy, but it was posted on the discussion of ShowINIT earlier.  You
can also check the SCSI cdev or with ICOM Simulations.

The only INITs taking advantage of this so far that I've seen are TMON Startup,
QuicKeys, AaINIT, and Programmer's Key.  The individual INIT must do this
work--it is not part of INIT 31 [but it sure would be nice if it was!!!]
