reset must be a linux thing, or something. I can barely read it says
something like
delete is now backspace
kill is now .....
interrupt....
but, didn't reset my screen. Thanks anyway.
reset only attempts to clear your terminal and set it to a "sane" 
state.  It
doesn't actually fiddle with your graphics card.  reset is good for 
fixing
problems like having echo disabled, the wrong character set, vertical
scrolling disabled, and so on---just "logical" terminal mis-settings.

SVGATextMode, on the other hand, will reset your graphics card as 
well.  Gvie
that a try.  I'm not sure what all platforms SVGATextMode works on, 
though.

SVGATextMode is no where to be found on my OpenBSD file system.
