ANSI.SYS replaces CON device driver in DOS BIOS. It is shown as "CON"
and takes about 4 Kbytes. (DISPLAY.SYS is shown as CON as well, if you
load it, but it's normally larger.) Please check if you can see a 4 Kb
CON driver.

No, you don't have to do anything else. TYPE should work.

Can you send me this text file for analysis? (to my private address,
unless you want to be called spammer again ;->) Maybe you just
mistyped the escape sequences?
