well ever wonder how to play in an ansi file sequence? well to have fun i'll 
tell ye the parameters used in ANSI escape sequences. they are are: 

Pn 
    Numeric parameter. Specifies a decimal number. 
  
Ps 
    Selective parameter. Specifies a decimal number that you use to select 
    a function. You can specify more than one function by separating the 
    parameters with semicolons. 
  
PL 
    Line parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the 
    lines on your display or on another device. 
  
Pc 
    Column parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the 
    columns on your screen or on another device. 
  
ANSI escape sequences for cursor movement, color, and editing 
  
In the following list of ANSI escape sequences, the abbreviation ESC 
represents the ASCII escape character 27 (1Bh), which appears at the 
beginning of each escape sequence. 
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

 
ESC[PL;PcH 
    Cursor Position: Moves the cursor to the specified position 
    (coordinates). If you do not specify a position, the cursor moves to the 
    home positionÄÄthe upper-left corner of the screen (line 0, column 
    0). This escape sequence works the same way as the following Cursor 
    Position escape sequence. 
  
ESC[PL;Pcf 
    Cursor Position: Works the same way as the preceding Cursor Position 
    escape sequence. 
  
ESC[PnA 
    Cursor Up: Moves the cursor up by the specified number of lines without 
    changing columns. If the cursor is already on the top line, ANSI.SYS 
    ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnB 
    Cursor Down: Moves the cursor down by the specified number of lines 
    without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the bottom line, 
    ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnC 
    Cursor Forward: Moves the cursor forward by the specified number of 
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the 
    rightmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[PnD 
    Cursor Backward: Moves the cursor back by the specified number of 
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the leftmost 
    column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence. 
  
ESC[s 
    Save Cursor Position: Saves the current cursor position. You can move 
    the cursor to the saved cursor position by using the Restore Cursor 
    Position sequence. 
  
ESC[u 
    Restore Cursor Position: Returns the cursor to the position stored 
    by the Save Cursor Position sequence. 
  
ESC[2J 
    Erase Display: Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the home 
    position (line 0, column 0). 
  
ESC[K 
    Erase Line: Clears all characters from the cursor position to the 
    end of the line (including the character at the cursor position). 
  
ESC[Ps;...;Psm 
    Set Graphics Mode: Calls the graphics functions specified by the 
    following values. These specified functions remain active until the next 
    occurrence of this escape sequence. Graphics mode changes the colors and 
    attributes of text (such as bold and underline) displayed on the 
    screen. 
  
    Text attributes 
       0    All attributes off 
       1    Bold on 
       4    Underscore (on monochrome display adapter only) 
       5    Blink on 
       7    Reverse video on
