    I still use some DOS programs in my Windows 98, so I
have a DOS Menu that operates with batch files.  Since the
WordPerfect for DOS uses a light blue background with white
lettering, I used the same for my DOS menu.  To do this, I
have the following Escape sequence (2nd line) in my
autoexec.bat file:

@ECHO ON
[0;37;44;1m
C:\BAT\MENU

    In Windoows 98, you don't even have to put ANSI.SYS in
the Config.Sys file.  In my case, I have the Menu.Txt file
in the c:\Bat directory.  Hope this helps,
