Keith, you have to add the 'ANSI.SYS' device driver in your config.sys
startup file. If you have Win95 it is located under <windir>\COMMANDS,
for WinNT it is in <windir>\system32 and if you have Win31 (or DOS) it
is wherever you have installed your DOS directory.

After you've installed it, your console should be able to interpret the
ANSI sequence.
