Environment:
	486, DV386, Expert VGA card, MKS Toolkit

I don't seem to be able to load dvansi.com in a window as
per the manual. Opening a MKS Kornshell shell window (my
normal environment) and then executing DVANSI.COM promptly
hangs the machine. No combination of DEVICE.COM statements
works: using DEVICE DVANSI in the window causes a complaint
about DVANSI being a block device that must be loaded in my
config.sys. Various combinations of DEVICE and DVANSI
statements in my config.sys either lock up the machine,
usually after appearing to dump the contents of the
executable to the screen and often producing Exception 13
errors, or are simply rejected as incorrect statements.

When I use a 
	DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 c:\etc\drivers\tansi.sys
statement in my config.sys to load the ansi driver supplied
with my vidio card, it apparently load, and MFT reports the
driver in memory. However, the driver does not appear to be
available in a DV window. Running a program that requires an
ANSI driver produces a screen full of control sequences.

The same set up (MKS Shell, tansi driver loaded high)
without DV lets me run this program correctly.

Any suggestions? The manual is very skimpy re. DVANSI, 1
paragraph without an example isn't much help.
