Nah, because COMMAND.COM is still using interupts to write with, which
goes *through* the BIOS, which can itself be redirected.  If you're
lucky you have it mapped so it's a little quicker, but if COMMAND.COM
just wrote DIRECTLY to the screen it would be phenominal.

Also, I'd suggest an ANSI that is built into COMMAND.COM, what do you
all think to that?  Of course, it would be an OPTION!
