Shelling to DOS in TD and TPROF

Has anyone experienced problems shelling to DOS from TD 2.0 or TPROF?
When I do so, the extent of my display is a single character in the top
left corner of the screen; if I type "exit" I see each character appear
in the corner, and then when I press CR I'm back in TD (TPROF). Clearly,
there is no problem with the shell, but with the display. I've tried all
sorts of options/configurations (including uninstalling mouse drivers
and EMS drivers) but nothing seems to help. I do NOT have this problem
with other Borland products, TP or TC++.

Any hints?

Cheers, Iain.
