# Command: nansi.sys

      NANSI.SYS is a console enhancing driver. FreeDOS uses NANSI.SYS
      instead of ANSI.SYS.
      NANSI.SYS has to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
      When FreeDOS is already running, you can load NANSI.SYS later
      with DEVLOAD.

## Syntax:

      DEVICE[HIGH]=[drive:][path]NANSI.SYS [/K] [/C] [/X] [/S] [/Tnn] [/R]
                   [/B|/Q] [/P]
      DEVLOAD      [drive:][path]NANSI.SYS [/K] [/C] [/X] [/S] [/Tnn] [/R]
                   [/B|/Q] [/P]
