   Good to know! So for compatibility reasons it would be better to just "print"   
   the @codes into the line itself and avoid the positioning via esc sequences at   
   the end of the file.   
      
   But.. I have found an editor that does exactly what i need.   
   With icy_Draw i can define "Tags" that consist of the preview in the editor   
   layout, the @code, length, alignment, method (inLine or GotoXY) etc.   
   So using the icy_Draw Tag Tool, it will look exactly as it will look in the   
   BBS later within the editor. wysiwyg so to say :)   
      
   Icy_Draw still needed a little fix within the export to msg function, wich   
   Mike was so kind to do this evening. So with the freshly build AppImage,   
   Icy_Draw now does exactly what I originally envisioned when I began exploring   
   the possible options for this task. =)   
      
   Thanks for all explaining and helping out!
