The two different cursor movement commands after the two ClearScreen calls in
ansi.c are correct.

Screen is emulating an ANSI terminal (even if the terminal you run it on
*isn't* an ANSI terminal), and in all the manuals for ANSI style terminals we
have, <esc>c resets the terminal and homes the cursor, and <esc>[2J clears
the screen but *doesn't* home the cursor.
