Yeah that'd probably work, but i dont want a ANSI driver loaded unless
it was one of my own that i could run from the startup of the program.
But i'd rather full code. Its better cuz then you can have like
extended characters then a letter like in ezycom to display things on
the screen. Also, that system("type test.ans"); would do it to the
visual screen when at the moment, i want it to goto the com port. But
i've nearly got it just grabbing the screen and throwing it to the
comport.
