you're not using the crt unit are you? first because i think it doesn't support utf8 and second because i think you can cause this by doing "if keypressed.." without then doing readkey before exit.</div>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Anyone ever experience making a console app (cross-platform), but, on windows when the app finishes, it appears to have put an uppercase C or D in the keyboard buffer, so the Prompt now has C:\>D<cursor>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Every time I run my app, be it show help screen and end, or actually execute - when it finishes I end up with a letter sitting at the prompt. (A few months ago, I was having a problem, and it was related
to compiling all of the methods with cdecl. That build would leave a stray "C" at the start of the prompt upon exiting. Now, I ran into a new problem where I needed to recompile with -FcUTF8 to track down which units it thought were having a UTF-8 mismatch...
it was showing the wrong unit until I used the -FcUTF8 compile option, then it actually showed what file had '<highbit ascii>' strings ... so I switched to #<byte_number> and it compiles, but, the prompts have "D" at the start of them now. (hopefully I
described that understandable).</div>
