   Mystic renders ANSI in message content in the context of the message viewport.   
   In other words, Mystic knows that a clear screen in an uploaded ANSI message   
   should clear only the message viewport not the entire user's terminal, and it   
   acts accordingly.   
      
   The same holds true for all ANSI commands, cursor movements, clear   
   screen/lines, etc.  They are rendered in the context of the message viewport,   
   not the entire user's terminal.   
      
   You can mix and match ANSI and text inline with the message editor that has   
   TheDraw-like features, and Mystic will save and render it WYSIWYG in your   
   message bases. This was something I originally did in the early 2000s so that   
   people could co-create ANSI art within actual message bases and then download   
   the completed ANSIs...   
      
   But these days its mostly just a factor when people post ANSI BBS ads lol   
      
   Mystic applies a similar methodology to ANSI file descriptions too when using   
   things like FILE_ID.ANS.   
      
   Anyway, thats why a clear screen in a traditional BBS will clear the entire   
   screen but Mystic it only clears the "message viewport".   
      
   Hope that helps clear things up.
