codesEnter anywhere as part of the command line as an echo command (or use in batch files). What you will be doing is echoing a direction to the screen. ANSI.SYS must be loaded as a driver (or NNANSI.SYS). ANSI.SYS will intercept this and reset the screen to your new parameters.
Use "echo. ESC[CODE" to impliment
The ESC (Escape) shows up as a left arrow on DOS screens, but you may have to use Alt-27 to put it on screen. I haven't found the HTML character translation for this, so I am using "ESC" below.
..when all fails on Unix: use \033
combine as (example): ESC[BRIGHTNESS;FOREGROUND;BACKGROUNDm

To have the prompt in bright yellow letters, set it as follows..
prompt ESC[1;33m Ginger $p$g ESC[0;37m
Since the second command resets the screen to white on black, the prompt will stand out from any other text on the screen.
