doesn't work.

My guess would be term type issues.

It make sense, but some programs (like midnight commander) handle this chars very well on various terminal emulators...

Where can i read about freepascal and terminals ?

Hi!

I assume that you use CRT in your program. Right?
CRT is known to be doing nasty things. Replace it with nCRT. It works absolutely identical, and much better.
If you want to use line graphics, you should have a look on oCRT. This is ObjectCRT and uses ncurses. This works PERFECTLY!
