Apparently you are using an older version of Fansi console.  I am running
version 2.00 and am very pleased with the results.  The keyboard LEDs on
my 6300 work fine as does the 640x400 graphics.

I can't point to a specific source for the program except Hersey
Micro Consulting, but if anyone is seriously using Fansi, they should
consider paying for it.  Registration provides a thick manual in an IBM
style slipcase, technical support, and the latest version of the software.
