Sorry, forgot to mention, I HAVE included the line
	device=c:\winnt40\system32\ansi.sys
in CONFIG.NT.

When I open a DOS window, and use the MEM /P command, the output
confirms that ANSI.SYS is in fact installed;
	Name:ANSI, SIZE:1060, Type:DEVICE=

However, 
when I run Feldmans SMILEY procedure, 
the output merely lists the escape sequenses
without interpretation. 

IE the first line starts:
<-[2J<-[7;34fHave a Nice Day!<-[9;34f___

("<-" represents one-character arrow-left, meaning escape)

Please, what have I forgotten to do, to make the 
Ada-console-window ANSI-aware?  		-- Hans
