Use the -ds switch when you start up TD, or, equivalently, set the
options to "Always Swap Display". The problem is that the way 4DOS
does it's direct screen I/O, TD has to treat it like a graphics
application and do more screen saving. You get the same problem if you
try to run Brief from a DOS shell under TD without -ds set.

I reported this to the TD developers at Borland, so probably a future
version will always swap the display when shelling to DOS, even if it
isn't set for the application.

I also reported this to the 4DOS developers at J.P. Software so they
could bulletproof their end.
