As an escape continuation, more than you'd expect. (Exception handlers, early return.) Full continuations are rarer, but I use them for doing error recovery.

Fantastic to see the DOS Lisp scene revived again. Back in the day there was PC-Scheme from Texas Instruments, which I believe was R3RS-compliant.

Gambit-C has also been around since '88 and can compile to fairly portable C.
Probably been a decade since I tried compiling it for DOS, but I believe getting it up and running shouldn't be difficult.
I've been messing around with a language that I summarize as:
ALOE = Scheme + Smalltalk + Types
Boids implementation:
