   You can do that but I don't think it would fix anything.  If you want the   
   screen to pause in a scrolling ANSI it just needs to be saved with unlimited   
   line length (0 in Mystic's ANSI editor) so each line in the actual ANSI file   
   is one line as displayed.  If the cursor is moving around via location codes   
   or auto wrapping, then the line count won't be accurate.   
      
   I could probably improve on this in the future, its just worked this way for   
   20+ years.   
      
   I think most people turn pausing off for scrolling ANSIs and/or use baud rate   
   emulation and in the few cases where the pause is desired it just has to be   
   saved a certain way.   
      
   I'll make a note of it in the TODO to look at changing the logic.
