How does one set the Terminal Type?

It's just an environment variable.
At the cmd.exe prompt, to see what it's set to, enter:

set TERM

To set it to a specific value (say 'dumb'), enter:

set TERM=dumb

To clear it, enter:

set TERM=

Those commands will affect only the shell in which they are run.
You can also set it "system wide" so that it will be the default value for all shells that you open .... but I couldn't quickly find out the way to do that. (I've done it before; it's quite straightforward. Try google or Windows Help.)

If you find it's already set to 'dumb', I would try clearing it and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise set it to 'dumb' and see how that affects the pdl2 shell behaviour.

Cheers,
Rob
