The 'reset' command should work.

I have a Debian woody box run in console mode only. While I was logged into another woody box, I did:
#cat mystery.file
The mystery file turned out to be a word .doc
Subsequently, my prompt and anything going to the screen has turned into gibberish. Even after logging out of the other box I'm still getting gibberish at the prompt, and can't get rid of the gibberish on that console, although the others all work fine. I was going to cut and paste it here, but instead of what i actually see on the screen, I get the mangled console message reproduced below. Is there any way to restart that console and get it back? Does anyone know what might have happened?
Thanks..
David.
