I found people talking about popping up a Dos *window* confusing until I
went back to the manual too.

When I have the Dos prompt in a window I get funny characters, once the
screen scrolls the new "blank lines" have smiley faces, etc. instead of
blanks.  I seem to get a series of Ascii 0's then 1's and so on.

Has anybody else noticed/suffered/solved this problem?
