Hello Nikos:
I found a problem running the GRASS shell from the QGIS GRASS toolbox 
under windows. Perhaps the reason and is similar to what was causing 
your strange characters. With "Regional Settings" set to Hebrew in the 
windows control panel, when I opened the GRASS shell, I'd get  v  e  r  
y    w  i  d  e   spacing between the letters, making use of the command 
line shell quite difficult.  I set the regional settings back to 
English/US and now the shell looks fine.
Maybe this will help.
Regards,
Micha
