I missed some of the postings for ms_sh v1.5 in c.b.i.p, so I grabbed the
source and compiled it myself.  BIG MISTAKE!  I don't know if it was my
compile, or if there is something else wrong, but whenever I run it the
cursor does some really crazy things on me.  After I type in the first
character of a command, it then moves the cursor to the second (or third,
I can't remember which) line on the screen.  The next characters come out
somewhere in the first two/three lines.  This is totally unacceptable 
(obviously).  Can someone give me a clue as to where the problem lies?

I'm running MS-DOS 3.30 on an 80386 with 640K 3072K extended.  By the way,
even if I swap to whatever, it doesn't help.  I don't think it has anything
to do with the shell, per se, (ie: options I can change on the fly); I 
believe it has something to do with either (1) the way it was compiled, or
(2) the way I am trying to use it.  I have a Hercules Monochrome card.

Any help whatsoever would be GREATLY appreciated!
