Comments:

  EECHO allows for echo-ing ANSI Escape Sequences (redefines keyboard
  input for example). Use a dollar sign ($) to represent the ANSI Escape
  character. Note: requires an ANSI driver like NANSI.SYS loaded
  prior to use.
  EECHO is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

  IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
    DEVICE=C:\FREEDOS\BIN\nansi.sys
    EECHO feeling $[33;44;1m blue :-) (yellow and bold text, blue
                                       background)
