It certainly used to be under MS DOS but I find very few windows
machines set up to use ANSI codes. Do you know any way to set
ANSI controls under wIndows (that doesn't require a reboot ideally!)
ISTR it involved putting the line
DISPLAY=ANSI
in the Config.sys file.
Does that still work under XP? I suppose it should...
