"Latin-US (DOS)" is not shown under "File/ Reopen Using Encoding".
Only "Western (ISO Latin 1)",  "Western (ISO Latin 9)" and "Western

You can adjust which encodings are visible on the menu by using the Text Encodings preferences. Marking the check box next to "Latin-US (DOS)" will make it available on the encodings menu.

If I open a text document in BBEdit, use the status bar at the bottom
of the window, and choose "Other" in the encoding list there, then I
am shown a longer list of encodings, among which is included "Latin-US
(DOS)", which I can then select for that specific document.

If you do that, you are changing the encoding that will be used when the document is saved to disk. However, since the document has already been read in using the wrong encoding, selecting the correct encoding here will not affect it.

So, start by adjusting your encoding settings so that you can choose Latin-US (DOS) as encoding for Reopen Using Encoding, and see if that helps.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
