Definitely use the .EXE version of BNU (not only will it probably solve
this problem, but you'll have more control over your port(s) and buffers).

Also, turn off "fast ansi" -- I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference
in output speed (get out your stopwatch and try it *grin*), and using F-
will force BNU to check with BIOS for screen writes, instead of just
assuming it's okeigh to write whatever it wants wherever it wants whenever
it wants however it wants...
