ANSI or VT-100 animations work by using the cursor
relocation code which is ^[[line;colH, where the ^[ is
ASCII 27.  Instead of laboriously coding long
animations by hand, you can use a nice ANSI
editor like THEDraw to do it for you.  It works well
for viewing them too, as it will slow them down if
necessary.  Try searching the net or getting an
account with BBS.MUSTANG.COM via telnet 
and downloading it there.
