    You can thank Bill Gates for this problem.  Evidently you will
    need to run in "Real Mode", whatever that is, in order to get
    Windows ME to recognize ANSI.SYS.  Here's a link that might
    help that was sent to me by one of my regular users:

    g&FR=0&qry=ansi.sys&rnk=2&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=WINME>
    
    If anyone with WinME has any success, please let me know the
    procedure you used.  (I don't have access to an WinME machine).
    
    Thanks,
    Rob
