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
if it's on the ansi file, you can place this just about anywhere you could fit it. if you were doing it menu wise, this would be in the prompts section under your main menu.
