Erm as far as I know there's not somthing as sophisticated as these xterm
windows (and I do not only mean the visual 'outside'). You can't start a
'command.com' terminal or something. There's some program (winoa386.mod)
that gives some abstraction layer for the DOS-program to be 'inside'.

These were (and are) "DOS-extenders" they provide services that are not
within MS-DOS. Most of them (memory stuff) are given by Windows nowadays.
4DOS is/was frequently used by games. But, I'll take a look at it.

I do know that Win2k has some sort of scroll feature when you set the
display-buffer biggger than the amount of character in the window.
