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
