use padding pipe prior to the MCI code {pipe}$(R)ight or (L)eft #spaces
so something like (using an "I" as the pipe for clarification)
      I$R30IUN would use 30 characters to display user name and no more.
 When I drew my ansis on moebius, I could slect the area of the screen where I was going to put my MCI to the edge of my ansi art and see at the bottom of moebius how many spaces that was, and I would pad using that number
