This has nothing to do with Ada. A C program that output ANSI escape 
sequences would give the same results.

You could have taken an easier route by downloading and using the 
redirect program mentioned earlier, or by obtaining J. van Dijk's 
NT_Console package, which works with all flavors of Windows, but is not 
portable to other OSes.
