SUMMARY

The ANSI escape sequence for changing the cursor position contains a typographical error in the documentation. The sequence listed in the ANSI.SYS section of the "Microsoft MS-DOS User's Reference" for MS-DOS versions 3.20 through 4.01 should be changed from

ESC [Pl;PcF

to:

ESC [Pl;Pcf

The ANSI escape code command characters ("f", in this case) are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.

This error has been corrected in the version 5.0 "Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and Reference".
