ROOT 2.23.11 + Win98: usability issues (TAB completion, scroll bar, etc.)

Would someone with experience using ROOT under Win32 comment on their
successes with the following usability issues with running ROOT under
Win98.

1. TAB completion does not work "out of the box" when ROOT v. 2.23.11 is
run under Win98.  When I press the TAB key (to complete the expansion
for a file name, for example) I just hear beeps.

2.  Is there a way (like under WinNT) to enable scroll bars for MS-DOS
windows?  Currently, the MS-DOS window that ROOT runs in is only 25
lines high, which means that all of the useful information that "scrolls
off the top" of the MS-DOS window is lost forever.
