Hi g00r00,

When using ansi files larger than standard 80x25, and wanting to use display
codes like the !UH (pipe not !) I can do that fine, but if I want to use the
justification display codes, like $C or $L or $R they only accept two digit
widths, however I need to use three digit widths, i.e. !$C122 - what actually
happens is it just does !$C12 and prints the 2 at the start of whatever string
I'm trying to centre.

Any chance of the display codes for left/right/center justify being allowed to
use 2 or 3 digits?

Also this is the same for cursor positioning too i.e. [X99 is the farthest
right I can go, and I can't do [X100 - [X132

Thanks muchly!
