PC-TALK will NOT take advantage of ANSI.SYS because
IBM PC's basic bypasses it and does its own screen driving.
(Perhaps a compiled PC-TALK would.)

Some other communications packages for the IBM PC, such as
Kermit, will use it, although in Kermit's case you don't
really need to, since Kermit emulates a vt52.
