I have an ANSI.SYS driven CRT replacement unit that I got from (I
think) SIMTEL that sounds like what you want--just what ANSI codes does
CRT cause your code to ignore?!

I believe the unit is called ANCRT and I can upload it if it is no
longer available (or if I'm wrong and I didn't get it from SIMTEL).

If you don't want to use the whole unit, the source is included, so you
can see what ReadKey does.  In fact, there is a better function GetKey
(or something) that may vbe helpfull (like perhaps it is ReadKey and
not the CRT unit that is ignoring ANSI codes).
