This question was asked last week(?). Phillip noted that the DOS box needs
an ANSI driver in order to know what to do with the ANSI escape codes.
Normally you would have to load ANSI.SYS in your config.sys but this may
have changed under Windows9x.
Thank you, Ron
I've read Philip's posting a few days ago and I did load ansi.sys from
config.sys. It shouldn't be necessary because I'm running windows 2000 and
ansi.sys exists in the system32 directory. I'm getting the same result with
or without ansi.sys loaded in config.sys.

Hi Greg,
I cut and pasted your script and ran it - works as expected for me.
Are you sure that you loaded ansi.sys correctly in config.sys ? Even though
ansi.sys exists on your computer it will still need to be loaded in
config.sys.
And you will then have to reboot for the change to take effect.
At least that was the case on my Windows 98.
Cheers,
Rob
