Wouldn't the ANSI codes work if ANSI.SYS were loaded?
I thought you could still load ANSI.SYS it just wasn't 
normally there? The help system says you should load it 
in config.nt with:

device=c:\winnt\system32\ansi.sys 

But I admit I've never tried it - I didn't even like ANSI.SYS 
when I was using DOS!
