I believe the problem is with the run command.  It causes some really weird 
flickering and ugly stuff.  Take away that run and it will go away, but 
then, the DOS screen will be there, hanging.  Of course, I am just replying 
thinking that I know what I am talking about.  But, I read part of the reply 
and thought that it was the same problem that I was having.

I hope this helps...
