Forget ANSI with NT. Microsoft is not compatible to any standard in the world.

You need to use the Windows NT console API. I've had the same problem
and found a package from Jerry van Dijk(*) which implements screen
positioning functions. I also modified the ANSI terminal emulator
packages by Michael Feldman(**) to work with the Console API package. So
you can write programms that are portable from NT to OSses which have
ANSI by simply recompiling them with a different package.

I would mail you the whole stuff, if you get yourself a real email address.
