BrowserUk:

I certainly didn't intend to imply that he should use ANSI.sys, I just thought it was a good reference to the escape codes that (I think) the command console uses. (The tiny example was to let the OP find out if those escape sequences are the correct ones--I suspect so, but am not sure.) I agree that actually trying to use the ANSI.sys device driver would be terrible.

    Then I apologise for having misinterpreted you.

    That said, Win32::Console::ANSI details all the escape codes it supports; and goes on to show how to avoid needing to know them.
