A friend has given me a perl script which he uses on his UNIX box.  I can get
it to run on my Windows 95 machine, but the output is VT100 cursor movement
strings.  The strings are just in a couple of modules and I can easiky
substitute
other cursor movent strings.  Can someone tell me where I could find cursor
movement strings for the MS-DOS window?

Thanks very much.

+AD4-I think you're looking for documentation, rather than the strings
+AD4-themselves. Perhaps the docs, FAQs, and newsgroups about MS-DOS could be

Tom's right, not exactly a Perl question. But the DOS console has no cursor
control strings. It can use a driver such as ANSI.SYS (which would work with
the VT100
strings which are basically ANSI) to interpret currsor control strings.
ANSI.SYS is included in any recent version of PCDOS or MSDOS, including
MSDOS 7.0 (aka
Windows 95...).

It's in c:+AFw-windows+AFw-command by default, and can be selectively loaded into
some DOS sesions and not others. For info on tis go to a DOS or Windows or
general MS
newsgroup.
