Thanks for that Gautier,

Unfortunately, I'm still having problems getting the ANSI solution to work.
I am running Windows 2000, and I know that the ANSI.SYS drivers must be
loaded to function properly.

I've added two lines to both config.nt and config.sys to load the drivers.

Whenver I execute:
put( Ascii.ESC & "[2J" ); --or any other derivative of..

All I get is [2J printed on the screen.

Any ideas?
