A. There is a file in your system32 directory, CONFIG.NT, that tells NT how to run DOS 5 sessions. Add the line
device=c:winntsystem32ansi.sys
or
device=%systemroot%system32ansi.sys.

You will then have to start a command line using the COMMAND.COM that came with DOS 5.0 (dig out those old disks!).
