This is not the answer you want, but there is a djgpp utility dtou.exe that
converts MS-DOS format to UNIX format.  (and the opposite is utod.exe)

I think C-l (control-l) will help.  You could also bind a key to that command. 
But I'm not really sure that your screen should be garbled.  You could suspend
emacs, run the Allegro program, and then type exit to resume emacs.  Then you
shouldn't have a garbled screen.  --Weird!!  I just did what you are doing.  I
think that suspending emacs is better.  Then your display will "automatically"
come out right.  Anyway, C-l does fix it if you must use M-!.

Sorry if I couldn't answer all your questions, but I too am new to emacs.
