 JH> i always shoot for 77 rows

For the *drawing* width, yes.

I'm talking about the raw ANSI which makes up the drawing. If you look at the 
raw makeup of the ANSI messages posted in the ad echoes from Mystic systems, 
you find that none of them are greater than 79 characters wide. They force a CR 




































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































followed by cursor movements in order to return to the spot where the drawing 
continues.

ANSI messages posted from non-Mystic boards usually won't have that, I think 
what happens as a result in certain readers is the text wrap logic tries to 
wrap the ANSI sequences, thus borking the results.
