Though I'm the last one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I had some
problems with NNANSI too (also using Video 7 equipment -- I've got the
VGA208E from Headlands Technology, that's Video 7, isn't it?)... I found
that if I shelled out of a program to go to MG Emacs, as I recall, NNANSI
seemed to lose track of the place I'd left to go to the shell.  I'd come
back to the program I'd shelled out of, to find that its screen was half
scrolled off the top.  I have no such problem with ANSI.SYS.  NNANSI also
seemed to put blinking blocks before and after the echo'd lines during my
autoexec, but I didn't try to track that down -- I packed it in after the
shell problems appeared.  I didn't try NNANSI with a bare system (all drivers
removed, etc.) -- there may be some incompatibility there as well.
