    after 23 years i think i have a quick response for you..

    you have to set value 00 to 0050:000F before running GWBASIC.

    here is a debug script;

    DEBUG noshell.com
    -A
    xxxx:0100 MOV AX,0050
    xxxx:0103 MOV DS,AX
    xxxx:0105 MOV BYTE PTR [000F],00
    xxxx:010A PUSH CS
    xxxx:010B POP DS
    xxxx:010C RET
    xxxx:010D
    -R CX
    CX 0000
    :0D
    -W
    -Q
