Thanks! FWIW, that page doesn't explicitly mention that while command.com supposedly works with ansi.sys (I've been unable to get it working myself, but that's probably just me) cmd.exe, the console most people use with Win2k/XP, has no way to support ANSI codes. Surprising, but true (at least, as far as I can tell from various MS and external web pages). --0-750434726-1157747983=:97636--
