   NOTE: SlyEdit 1.92b (2025-08-02) (ICE style)   
   Over the past week I've been revisiting some of my old ANSImations and   
   attempting to "remaster" them with various improvements.   
      
   Tonight I ran into two weird glitches.   
      
      
   1. If you use putmsg() to write text in a color (say blue-on-black), then   
   OVERWRITE that text with identical text in a different color (say   
   red-on-black), it works as expected. But if instead you were to overwrite with   
   BLACK-on-black, it does NOT work. The frame keeps the previous attributes   
   (blue) instead of changing to black.   
      
   In contrast, console.putmsg() does NOT have this problem. It handles   
   black-on-black just fine.   
      
   I presume there is a logic problem in Frame.prototype.putmsg(), but I haven't   
   been able to figure it out.   
      
      
   2. If you put CTRL-A color codes within a string, they will consume the   
   previous character. For example:   
      
   ```   
   var lowRed = '\1N\1R\10';   
   var lowBlue = '\1N\1B\10';   
   console.putmsg(lowBlue+'TEST1 TEST1'+lowRed+' TEST1')   
   ```   
      
   ... will result in the characters `TEST1 TEST TEST1` being output. The second   
   numeral "1" has been dropped.   
      
   This happens in both the console.putmsg() and the Frame.js .putmsg(). This   
   seems wrong to me, but is it actually expected behavior?   
      
      
   I put together a short javascript test case if anyone wants to look:
