I can't get ANSI.SYS to work under Windows 2000.

I found an article about making it work using COMMAND.COM
by creating a CONFIG.NT file and putting this in it:

DEVICE=%systemroot%\system32\ANSI.SYS

But, it doesn't work. Any attempt to use ANSI escape
sequences under COMMAND.COM displays the sequence itself
instead of the intended effect (color change, etc.).

Anybody know the fix for this?

PS: Yes, I'm sure I'm using COMMAND.COM not CMD.EXE.

Search the web for ANSI.COM and load it in AUTOEXEC.NT.
