I tried the info.exe on Win2K and a small amount of testing showed that when
pressing the cursor keys it looks like the ansi info is printed to the
display. The cursor appears to almost move correctly, but printing the
"^[[?" interferes with the movement.

Print        Keystroke
^[[B         Cursor Down
^[[C         Cursor Right
^[[D         Cursor Left
^[[A         Cursor Up

On Win 98 the same problem occurs.

The following shows the corrupted top left corner of the display after
moveing the cursor arround.

I suspect that this is a 2.04 LIBC issue caused by one of the changes to do
with the terminal io. Anyone got any ideas where to start looking? If I
start looking at it now it will take me a number of hours before I narrow
the issue does enough to asertain where the problem may be.

Thanks,
