   so is mine... i told golded that but have since told it the local set is CP437   
   even though it isn't... a lot of things look better in that they are aligned   
   properly but the graphics characters are black question marks in white   
   circles... i hope it will change to proper display when i finally find out how   
   to set the terminal to true pure CP437 and find a proper font with the   
   original glyphs in it...   
      
   sometimes new and advanced are not all they are cut out to be...
