Further proof that MSDOS "manuals" are not "automatically"
understood!
 
As an application user, you will only need ANSI.SYS if the
application requires it - check the manual. If it is required
and you don't have it loaded, you will see lots of square
brackets, numbers, and semi colons. If it is not required
and you do have it loaded, you won't be able to tell.
