Ellos, I'm trying to get some ansi sequences to work, mostly some fast keywork for an old game, in which I used ansi sequences way back when..

Basically, I'm trying to set up F1 to pour out "dddddddy", and
F2 to pour out "abddddddy",

which I'm using for Bard's Tale 2..
The first sequence instructs the group to defend en masse..
The second sequence instructs the first char to fight group b, and the rest to defend..

BUT !!!

Whenever I try to redefine F! to do so, it comes out ZERO..
here's what I batch before running Bard's Tale 2

"
echo ←[0;59;"dddddddy";13p
echo ←[0;60;"fbddddddy";13p
"
This is all literal, btw

I'm using ANSI.COM, cuz I know ANSI isn't well supported under DOSBOX by default..

Help an old geezer do his fast dungeoneering again..ty
