After I had made this post, just on a sudden hunch I decided to try one more thing before I quit for the evening. It turns out that a replacement driver I was using was at fault. Back when I used MS-DOS 5, I loaded NANSI.SYS 3.3, which was a replacement for (MS) ANSI.SYS. It was supposedly faster than ANSI.SYS, and it had a load option to disallow keyboard redefinition by ANSI escape sequences, thus closing up a security hole. So I just brought it over. But when I loaded C:\DRDOS\ANSI.SYS instead of the old NANSI.SYS, my problems with the MODE command went away. -- Paul mailto:bartlett AT smart DOT net ..........................................................
