what i would do is draw the ansi and THEN, open up the .ans file in a text
editor and add those AT codes at the bottom of the file. there are AT codes
that specify the cordinates but i've never used them. i just use ansi
positioning codes.
ie esc[1;1H is col 1, row 1
another thing that is easier is open up the file with thedraw and turn
on animation mode and THEN type in the AT codes where you want them to be.
then they wont get pushed around.

i would suggest starting out with the renegade command shell. it's easy to
modify as a sysop and it's easy for users to understand.
turn off that shit where new users can pick from command shells. it's just
lame.
