ansi.sys should be on one of your dos distribution floppies.  Copy
it onto your hard disk, say in your root directory, then put the
following line in your config.sys file (you do have one, don't you?
if you don't you should - you need the extra buffers for hard disk
performance!):

   DEVICE=ANSI.SYS

If you don't have a config.sys file, get into your root directory,
then type:

   COPY CON CONFIG.SYS
   BUFFERS=20
   DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
   <F6>

The <F6> means function key 6, which should put a ^Z (end-of-file
character) on the input line.  Type return after that, and you 
should have a prompt back, and a config.sys file.
