   It doesn't - that's Windows intercepting your program's output and   
   displaying it in a window for you.   
   Why would you think that a compiler generating DOS executables (and   
   especially one written in the days when Windows wasn't making such a big   
   noise) would need to know how to open a window within M$ Windows and   
   output to that?

   Under Win98 (possibly others) you can select to have the toolbar   
   displayed on DOS prompt windows, and on that is displayed a "Mark" button   
   (a dotted rectangle). Clicking that will allow you to click/drag over your   
   text (you can't otherwise), then you can Ctrl-C or use the cut / copy   
   buttons on the toolbar to get the text into the Windows clipboard - from   
   whence it can be pasted into Windows apps.
