Add a chr(27)+'[H' if you want to make sure the cursor is homed.

To make these k0dez work on DOS/Win systems, it's necessary to load in
the hoary old ANSI.SYS driver.

It's probably less hassle, though, to just use os.system() with 'cls'
or 'clear' or whatever the target system has.  Or go to curses and do
it properly.

Speaking of curses, has anyone already made a wrapper for the S-Lang
display stuff?
