Except that ANSI.SYS doesn't accept VT100 control sequences. The best that can be said of it is that it is a sick parody of a VT100 - maybe it should apply for Saturday Night Live. :-) Somebody should tell Microsoft that on a real ANSI terminal, ESC [ J and ESC [ 2 J do NOT do the same things (to name only one of the many crocks in ANSI.SYS). The question is, does the original poster want the ANSI.SYS sequences, VT100/VT200/VT300 sequences, or the full ANSI terminal document? Sometimes they seem to be only marginally related to each other ... Bruce C. Wright
