that looks fine...

the key may be what i mentioned before... i've not yet studied the ANSI codes
in your original post... it does look like some wrapping has been done to the
ANSI version... that can easily mess up ANSI screens... what i mentioned
previously was the ANSI codes for saving the current cursor position and
restoring it when the next line is processed... if word wrapping is being done,
 this should work around it unless the wrap comes before the cursor save
command...

maybe i'll see if i can screenshot all three? both of the ANSIs and the plain
text one?
