Installing RUNCOB as ANSI - Errors Flash Too Quickly on Screen

Summary: When RUNCOB is installed for the ANSI device driver, there is a problem with run-time errors. When a run-time error occurs, the message is displayed and a clear screen is issued immediately, clearing the run-time error message before it can be read. When the CONFIG.SYS file contains commands to invoke the device driver, ANSI.SYS, Option 3 of the Install Menu (the MS-DOS Version 2.x ANSI Device Driver) should be selected instead of Option 4 (the ANSI Standard Terminal). Option 4 should be specified when ANSI.SYS is not invoked in the CONFIG.SYS file.
