Created attachment 87566 [details] Garbled screen (ignore ???--that's not the problem)
Created attachment 87567 [details] What it looks like with RH7.3's screen
I slightly goofed with the first attachment. The ??? may be another manifestation of the problem.
Screen, as shipped with RHL8.0 does not support UTF-8 character encodings, which is the default. Put this in your .bashrc for now: alias ntsysv 'LANG=`echo $LANG | sed -e s/\.UTF-8//g` /usr/sbin/ntsysv' or alias ntsysv 'LANG=C /usr/sbin/ntsysv' Please see bug #78392; I will keep that one more up to date. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78392 ***
