   Interesting... I still run a copy of WINServer and any time I read ANSI on that   
   BBS it's messed up, pushes the header up.  Recently MRO, a Synchronet SysOp was   
   complaining that there was a hidden clear screen code within my ANSI ad... This   
   could explain the headers disappearing... I have finally had that come to Jesus   
   moment with WINServer... May delete it forever... But Synchronet puzzles me   
   So... Rob et. al. actively works on that project and you'd think that's where I   
   wouldn't have an issue.  I don't think about things, because Mystic handles   
   this flawlessly...
