Here's what I see when I load dosemu with MS-DOS:

	Linux DOS emulator 1.0.2.1 $Date: 2001/10/13 $
	Last configured at Sat Oct 13 18:55:24 MEST 2001 on linux
	DPMI-Server Version 0.9 installed

	Starting MS-DOS...


	C:\>PROMPT $p$g
	PATH C:\bin;c:\gnu;c:\dosemu
	SET TEMP=C:\tmp


	C:\>PROMPT $p$g
	PATH C:\bin;c:\gnu;c:\dosemu
	SET TEMP=C:\tmp

I'm left with what you see above, with the cursor blinking on the last 
blank line, as though it's waiting for another command. If I hit ENTER, 
I see another single iteration what you see above.
