i have decided a simple solution to all my problems would be the ability to print an escape (chr(27)) to the screen as an escape, not as a "<-" character, in turbo 5.0 (or higher). is this possible? -- one two! one two! & through & through /=============================/ hear your the vorpal blade went snicker-snack! / tpehrson@javelin.sim.es.com / death boon he left it dead, and with his head /=====aka: tim clinkenpeel====/ the wail of he went galumphing back [DISCLAIMER: send SASE to: disclaimer, 84151-0521] DOOM

More than possible, a moderately complete CRT unit using only ANSI calls is available as ANCRT.ARC (or .ZIP) in the turbo pascal directory of large FTP sites. BTW, the author of that unit references another semi-complete CRT unit whose name escapes me. Does anyone know of another? Thanks. -alan mead : amead@s.psych.uiuc.edu

But it's not fully CRT compatable. It's in the turbopas directory and called ANSCRT.ARC (or ANSICRT.ARC). Hope that help's. Kristinn Gudnason

Yes, provided you re-open the console for output, otherwise it goes to BIOS and not DOS (and thus ANSI.SYS). To do this, you need to: var f : text; begin assign(f,'') rewrite(f); Thus, to write to DOS, you'd do "writeln(f, ...)" and "writeln(....)" for BIOS.
