- You don't give us any details about the nature of your system, either
- hardware or software, so it is difficult to say what your problem
- might be. On some systems there is a hardware compatibility problem
- with the way that NB manages screen fonts 2O, and this may be the case
- in your instance. If this is indeed your problem, loading NB with the
- /B switch might help. Try using this form of the command to start NB:
-
- NB /B
-
- and see if you get better results.
