Yep, this is a quirk of the MS-DOS console driver. The only way around it
really is to use a terminal emulator that supports it. I have hacked support
for it (along with some other DOS quirks, like printing control characters
< ASCII 32 from the video card ROM) into PuTTY so that the Unix pterm would
support them, but the author wants a more cleaned up version of the patch
first. :)
