SUMMARY
=======

The ANSI.SYS /L switch is not available in MS-DOS 5.0 or later, as it was with
MS-DOS 4.x. The function of this switch is to retain the number of screen rows
for application programs that return the number of screen rows to the default
value of 25.

The /L switch can be added as a parameter to ANSI.SYS, but it is not functional
in the same manner it was with MS-DOS 4.x.

Additional query words: 6.22 5.00 5.00a 6.00 6.20
