Dialog is ncurses based. The strange characters you are seeing on the first one are ansi color codes. I can't even guess what's going on in the second on. It's probably affected by terminal settings. (and/or shell?) Try changing the terminal to something else? It's not clear if you are SSH'ing in or using the console from your description. Normally it works out-of-the-box on default console settings. John
