                                  ANSI.SYS 
  
Defines functions that change display graphics, control cursor movement, and 
reassign keys. The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal emulation 
of escape sequences to control your system's screen and keyboard. An ANSI 
escape sequence is a sequence of ASCII characters, the first two of which 
are the escape character (1Bh) and the left-bracket character (5Bh). The 
character or characters following the escape and left-bracket characters 
specify an alphanumeric code that controls a keyboard or display function. 
ANSI escape sequences distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters; 
for example,"A" and "a" have completely different meanings. 
  
This device driver must be loaded by a <DEVICE> or <DEVICEHIGH> command in 
your CONFIG.SYS file. 
  
Note:  In this topic bold letters in syntax and ANSI escape sequences 
       indicate text you must type exactly as it appears. 
  
Syntax 
  
    DEVICE=[drive:][path]ANSI.SYS [/X] [/K] [/R] 
  
Parameter 
  
[drive:][path] 
   Specifies the location of the ANSI.SYS file. 
  
Switches 
  
/X 
    Remaps extended keys independently on 101-key keyboards. 
  
/K 
    Causes ANSI.SYS to treat a 101-key keyboard like an 84-key 
    keyboard. This is equivalent to the command SWITCHES=/K. 
    If you usually use the SWITCHES=/K command, you will need 
    to use the /K switch with ANSI.SYS. 
  
/R 
     Adjusts line scrolling to improve readability when ANSI.SYS 
     is used with screen-reading programs (which make computers 
     more accessible to people with disabilities). 
  
Parameters used in ANSI escape sequences 
  
Pn 
    Numeric parameter. Specifies a decimal number. 
  
Ps 
    Selective parameter. Specifies a decimal number that you use to select 
    a function. You can specify more than one function by separating the 
    parameters with semicolons. 
  
PL 
    Line parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the 
    lines on your display or on another device. 
  
Pc 
    Column parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the 
    columns on your screen or on another device. 
  
ANSI escape sequences for cursor movement, graphics, and keyboard settings 
  
In the following list of ANSI escape sequences, the abbreviation ESC 
represents the ASCII escape character 27 (1Bh), which appears at the 
beginning of each escape sequence. 
  
ESC[PL;PcH 
    Cursor Position: Moves the cursor to the specified position 
    (coordinates). If you do not specify a position, the cursor moves to the 
    home positionÄÄthe upper-left corner of the screen (line 0, column 
    0). This escape sequence works the same way as the following Cursor 
    Position escape sequence. 
  
ESC[PL;Pcf 
    Cursor Position: Works the same way as the preceding Cursor Position 
    escape sequence. 
  
ESC[PnA 
    Cursor Up: Moves the cursor up by the specified number of lines without 
    changing columns. If the cursor is already on the top line, ANSI.SYS 
    ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnB 
    Cursor Down: Moves the cursor down by the specified number of lines 
    without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the bottom line, 
    ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnC 
    Cursor Forward: Moves the cursor forward by the specified number of 
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the 
    rightmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnD 
    Cursor Backward: Moves the cursor back by the specified number of 
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the leftmost 
    column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[s 
    Save Cursor Position: Saves the current cursor position. You can move 
    the cursor to the saved cursor position by using the Restore Cursor 
    Position sequence. 
  
ESC[u 
    Restore Cursor Position: Returns the cursor to the position stored 
    by the Save Cursor Position sequence. 
  
ESC[2J 
    Erase Display: Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the home 
    position (line 0, column 0). 
  
ESC[K 
    Erase Line: Clears all characters from the cursor position to the 
    end of the line (including the character at the cursor position). 
  
ESC[Ps;...;Psm 
    Set Graphics Mode: Calls the graphics functions specified by the 
    following values. These specified functions remain active until the next 
    occurrence of this escape sequence. Graphics mode changes the colors and 
    attributes of text (such as bold and underline) displayed on the 
    screen. 
  
    Text attributes 
       0    All attributes off 
       1    Bold on 
       4    Underscore (on monochrome display adapter only)

ESC[=psh 
    Set Mode: Changes the screen width or type to the mode specified 
    by one of the following values: 
  
       0      40 x 148 x 25 monochrome (text) 
       1      40 x 148 x 25 color (text) 
       2      80 x 148 x 25 monochrome (text) 
       3      80 x 148 x 25 color (text) 
       4      320 x 148 x 200 4-color (graphics) 
       5      320 x 148 x 200 monochrome (graphics) 
       6      640 x 148 x 200 monochrome (graphics) 
       7      Enables line wrapping 
      13      320 x 148 x 200 color (graphics) 
      14      640 x 148 x 200 color (16-color graphics) 
      15      640 x 148 x 350 monochrome (2-color graphics) 
      16      640 x 148 x 350 color (16-color graphics) 
      17      640 x 148 x 480 monochrome (2-color graphics) 
      18      640 x 148 x 480 color (16-color graphics) 
      19      320 x 148 x 200 color (256-color graphics) 
  
ESC[=Psl 
    Reset Mode: Resets the mode by using the same values that Set Mode 
    uses, except for 7, which disables line wrapping. The last character 
    in this escape sequence is a lowercase L. 
  
ESC[code;string;...p 
    Set Keyboard Strings: Redefines a keyboard key to a specified string. 
    The parameters for this escape sequence are defined as follows: 
  
      Code is one or more of the values listed in the following table. 
       These values represent keyboard keys and key combinations. When using 
       these values in a command, you must type the semicolons shown in this 
       table in addition to the semicolons required by the escape sequence. 
       The codes in parentheses are not available on some keyboards. 
       ANSI.SYS will not interpret the codes in parentheses for those 
       keyboards unless you specify the /X switch in the DEVICE command for 
       ANSI.SYS. 
  
      String is either the ASCII code for a single character or a string 
       contained in quotation marks. For example, both 65 and "A" can be 
       used to represent an uppercase A. 
  
IMPORTANT:  Some of the values in the following table are not valid for all 
            computers. Check your computer's documentation for values that 
            are different.
