If I remember correctly, a terminal is automatically put into raw mode
when accessing it with BIOS functions, and into cooked mode when using
GEMDOS functions.  One can also explicitly put a connections into cooked
mode by resetting the RAW bit in the terminal control flags using 
Fcntl(fd, &sgb, TIOCSETP)  (see the Fcntl(2) manual page, and take a look
at mntlib's ioctl.h for definitions of symbolic constants for terminal
modes).
