Hello

I have execute (system("cmd.exe") ) , then execute (chcp 437) (US code page) 
then (exit) come back to the octave prompt. The behaviors were improved. 
For example (ls) results aligns properly.

However, 
 * Marker in Octave cmd prompt in octave-gui is 2-4 spaces on the right, 
compared to where it should be.
(Ole Jacob Hagen reported)
was not improved.
