ANSI.SYS Defines functions that change display graphics, control cursor movement, and reassign keys. The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal emulation of escape sequences to control your system's screen and keyboard. An ANSI escape sequence is a sequence of ASCII characters, the first two of which are the escape character (1Bh) and the left-bracket character (5Bh). The character or characters following the escape and left-bracket characters specify an alphanumeric code that controls a keyboard or display function. ANSI escape sequences distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters; for example, "A" and "a" have completely different meanings. This device driver must be loaded by a DEVICE or DEVICEHIGH command in your CONFIG.SYS file. Note: In this topic uppercase letters in syntax and ANSI escape sequences indicate text you must type exactly as it appears. Syntax DEVICE=[drive:][path]ANSI.SYS [/X] [/K] [/R] Parameter [drive:][path] Specifies the location of the ANSI.SYS file. Switches /X Remaps extended keys independently on 101-key keyboards. /K Causes ANSI.SYS to treat a 101-key keyboard like an 84-key keyboard. This is equivalent to the command SWITCHES=/K. If you usually use the SWITCHES=/K command, you will need to use the /K switch with ANSI.SYS. /R Adjusts line scrolling to improve readability when ANSI.SYS is used with screen-reading programs (which make computers more accessible to people with disabilities).
