I don't know of any docs per se, but all you really need to do isãfind the proper ANSI codes and use them for positioning. This will only workãwith ANSi capable clients.ããDaveãã---ã þ Synchronet þ WasteLand BBS þ telnet://wasteland.darktech.org ã

See DOCS\@CODES.TXTãfor a complete list.ããRobãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
