I guess this is a dosemu problem, but it's DJGPP-related and I wonder
whether anyone here knows a solution or has any hints (even where's a
better place to ask).

When I try to run things like `less' or `info' under Linux dosemu
(0.64.0.4 or 0.63.1.66), they lock up the screen after displaying the
first page and I have to kill the dosemu session.  Similarly with,
say, `rm -i' when it prompts, but not with `unzip'.  This doesn't
happen with Emacs under dosemu (though its redisplay seems slow) or
with anything AFAICT under raw DOG.  I'm using the current DJGPP
stuff.  With some previous DJGPP version 2.something (prior to losing
my disc) and possibly a different dosemu I didn't have this problem.

Suggestions gratefully received.
