In the example you show above, you "padded" a carriage return.
I$R30IUN would do username + spaces to equal 30 chacters
I$L30IUN would do 30 spaces, to include username on right hand side.
so scenario:
cool ansi at line 2 column 40 and you don't want to overwrite.
you are placing user kilobytes (KT) downloaded at column 30.
You would write:
I[X30I[Y02I$R10I$KT

Ok so i think i have just about tried every combination accept to removing
the code from the menu editor and putting it in the prompt editor. however i
am not exactly sure how to do that. i know how to remove the command from the menu editor, but not sure how to create an entry in the prompt editor and to get it to assign it to the main menu...

yes! thank you so much for helping me find the right code. i am using the
code as a template for setting other menus now on the BBS. so far i got the login, main, chat, and another menu almost completed. just a few minor adjustments and it will be done. i am working my way through the menu list in re-connecting the pages. once they are all setup and appear pretty stable i
was going to migrate it over to the PROD system.
