I usually open a new console pressing [windows key]+R, "run", no "start in" directory is involved. I've seen that after executing a 16-bit program, the console "switches" to 16 bit "compatibility mode", or something like that. The prompt is displayed using short file names, and the screen buffer is disabled. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
