The cursor codes are problematic for DDMsgReader because, when using the scrolling ANSI interface, it writes the extended descriptions to the right of the file list; it doesn't expect the cursor to be moved when writing the description, so that currently is causing issues when displaying the descriptions, as part of the description ends up over the file list.  Similar issues happen when viewing file info, where it uses a scrollable window on the screen (using frame.js).  I think the best solution would be for DDFileLister to remove these cursor positioning codes so that they aren't a problem when writing the extended descriptions.
