At this stage in the game, that's probably best done with a small program 
not a command.  There are at least three different console driver packages 
for dos in use ansi.sys nansi.sys and fansi.sys .  The first thing a 
program would have to do is read through config.sys and find out which of 
these is in use then the program would have to send the correct escape 
sequences to the console for this to happen.  For now I'm using a Linux 
box and haven't got my copy of ansi.txt on this machine and didn't learn 
enough of nansi.sys or fansi.sys to be able to help in that area at all.
