Summary: Can this be done?

Does anyone out there know the answer to the following question:

On an IBM AT with an EGA board/monitor is it possible to
simultaneously display the ansi text and graphics modes?

By ansi text mode I mean the screen you get when you type

	mode co80

This is the mode that ansi.sys and nansi.sys drive.

The graphics mode is EGA mode, 640 x 350, 16 colors.  I'm not sure
that you can get into this mode with the DOS mode statement.  I know
that ansi escape sequences don't work in this mode - it's more of a
bit-mapped type of environment.

Thanks,

Peter Mroz
