I use ansi.com from PC magazine. This has 2 advantages:
1. It's a TSR so you can load, enable, disable or unload as needed,
2. It works with Desqview, because you have to load your ansi driver
   in the window.

A third advantage, perhaps, is that you can reserve a variable amount
of storage for the keyboard redefinition buffer. This can be 0 to 
inhibit it (Desqview can be used instead).

Ansi.com is available from SIMTEL20 I beleive - look in the PCMAG or SCREEN 
section perhaps? I couldn't find it for sure in my archive.
