Hi Scott,
I found a batch file that is supposed use ansi.sys to make the dos
screen blue with white lettering. I followed all the instructions to the
letter. It works in a dos window from windows but not in dos itself.The cls
command clears the screen alright-- a still white screen.

Yes, that's done with ANSI commands, and you must have DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
in the C:\CONFIG.SYS file in order for this to work. If you have
something like that in the file, put a REM (with a trailing space) at
the front of that line, so that it looks something like
REM DEVICE=ANSI.SYS.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
