While I agree with you on that point, something is amiss somewhere, then. I can
display an 80x24 ANSI screen just fine with Synchronet using Syncterm, but with
Mystic I have to add in an X coordinate to the end of the 24th line sending the
cursor back so it doesn't scroll to the next line, on the same ANSI (Also in
Syncterm). If I turn off the status bar, it displays fine.

I've brought this up to you numerous times in the past, and never really got
any reasoning behind it until your previous message to someone else explaining
that you can't use the 80th character of the 24th line.

Then again, I usually strip the 80th column completely on most ansis due to
other oddball things happening (like scrollers getting garbled, which in my
opinion, also shouldn't happen). Since I can't program I just do what it takes
to make things work properly, that's all.

Nick
