Subj : Login Prompt

For the login prompt, I wanted to display an ansi file in the background
and then overlay the prompt text (Enter User Name..) on top.
(Print ansi file, console.up & right to move cursor to print prompt)

I can do this but when I just hit enter at the prompt, only the prompt
text gets printed again, the ansi does not.
<code>
	// Display login prompt
	console.down(10);
	console.printfile(system.text_dir+"login.ans",P_NONE);
	console.up(7);
	console.right(17);
	console.print("\1n\1h\1cEnter \1wUser Name");
	if(!(bbs.node_settings&NM_NO_NUM))
		console.print("\1c or \1wNumber");
	if(!(system.settings&SYS_CLOSED))
		console.print("\1c or '\1yNew\1c'");
	if(guest)
		console.print("\1c or '\1yGuest\1c'");
	console.down(1);
	console.left(45);
	console.print("NN:\b\b\bLogin: \1w");
</code>

Any ideas or any samples in the other js files on doing something like
this?

Thanks!
