                                ESC

The ESC external command outputs an ESC character followed by a string of 
characters to the screen, or (with redirection) to other devices such as the 
printer. Not all versions of DOS have an ESC command. The EXAMPLES gives a 
BATCH file that replaces the ESC command.

    ESC string
	or
    ESC string > device

<string> contains characters which control the device to which the output 
    is directed. The characters in <string> are usually specific to the 
    device being controlled. For the screen, the strings to use are the
    same as those defined in the "PROMPT ESCAPE_SEQUENCES" topics, except
    that they should begin with "[", not "$e[". The ESC command supplies
    the required ESC character. The strings will only work as described 
    if the line DEVICE=ANSI.SYS is present in the CONFIG.SYS file.
