[fpc-pascal]Special chars on console

[Rainer Hantsch]

Hi! 

I assume that you use CRT in your program. Right?
CRT is known to be doing nasty things. Replace it with nCRT. It works
absolutely identical, and much better. 
If you want to use line graphics, you should have a look on oCRT. This is
ObjectCRT and uses ncurses. This works PERFECTLY!
