I don't know how exactly RBBS does it, but if you can look around for the RBBS
source code you might be able to follow it - RBBS-BAS.ZIP or 174BAS.ZIP on some
systems.  I believe simtel.army.mil has the code in their RBBS-PC directory.
RBBS is also available on many fine BBSs.
 
Hint:  Look for the TESTANSI routine in RBBSSUB5.BAS.
