There is a better way to do this with mystic. Draw the screen, and then
create the cursor placement with built-in Mystic display codes (see Mystic
BBS wiki).

Doing ansimation has drawbacks, not least of which is being able to edit the
ansi after the fact. I'd strongly recommend against this method.
