Are you talking about a DOS TSR? Those would implement an interrupt handler routine (which essentially required the use of assembly), and predate the use of protected mode.

Seems to me the clue is in the question..

 

A memory resident program would be executable code that is loaded into a computers RAM.

 

Copied from wikipedia:

 

An assembly language is a low-level language used in the writing of computer programs. The use of human-friendly mnemonics in the writing of assembly language programs replaced the more error prone, and time consuming, effort of directly programming in a target computer's numeric machine code that had been used with the very first computers. An assembly language program is translated into the target computer's machine code by a utility program called an assembler. (An assembler is distinct from a compiler, in that it generally performs one-to-one (isomorphic) translations from mnemonic statements into machine instructions.)
