--> Dunno if you've covered this - but when I see a similar
    `messed-up' screen; it's usually been that the VT100 emulation
    got turned-off and it's trying to display in straight ASCII.
    Setting things back to VT100, fixes the problem.  The only
    other screen-mess I've had, is a word-wrap problem, when
    perusing the NG's.  I've had to change my width to 78 chrs,
    to prevent the longer NG names from forcing an extra line;
    which, in turn, throws-off the location of the `Arrow' that
    indicates what line I'm on.  There may well be other reasons
    for messed-up TXT screen displays - but these are the ones
    I've run into.  The VT100 problem I've had on both the A2
    and the PC side of life.  The word-wrap has only been on the
    PC-side.  YMMV.
