I don't know what it was intended to mean, but there is no driver in 
the current code base which uses it. Furthermore, the code segment that
tests it can never be reached.

It means
   (1)   no files on shell command line and isatty(fileno(stdin))
or (2)   we are inside a load command and the filename is '-'
or (3)   (AMIGA && IsInteractive(Input()) == DOSTRUE)


Note that (1) and (2) potentially contradict each other.
I'm not sure which one wins out :-)
