Hi All!
The time has come to improve/create some new ansi headers and menu screens.
I found a great new editor that works in my terminals and ssh: https://durdraw.org
Im trying to remember from when I used to create some basic ansis years ago for my RA/EleBBS board, there were some codes that you could use for clearing the screen etc
It also used to matter where the cursor position was when you saved the file?
Can anyone remember? I'm presuming its similar process for creating
menus in mystic too.

Also don't forget, if you're making ANSI specific for your mystic bbs, pipecodes work a dream.
Don't be afraid to use pipecode in your ANSI - I'd recommend adding new lines at the bottom of the
ansi file, sending the cursor to a certain position and then printing the pipecode of choice, that
way you can have your ansi file look how you want it, and you don't have to worry as much about
spacing or whatever.
