    This is an NT problem, not limited to Win2k.  I've seen in on NT4.  And
it's not limited to 'ls', EVERY DJGPP program I've seen causes the scrollback
buffer to be emptied (and the dos box does a complete redraw which can cause
annoying flicker).

    I've also noticed under NT, that a windowed text mode program (that does
direct memory writes like RHIDE/SetEdit) updates just as infrequently as
320x200x8bit does under Win9x.
