Hi Drew,

> What do people use to change their menus.

It seems your question is really "What are people using to make ANSI
screens for their menus". Menus themselfs are created in the EleBBS
menu editor (elconfig -M).

You can use TheDraw, Pablo, ElyEdit, or whatever and when you
add a Ctrl-F or Ctrl-K macro you simpy pad it with some periods
between the control character and the following letter.

For example to display the current file area you use Ctrl-K followed by Z,
and if you want this to take up exactly 12 characters on the screen then
you would simply add 10 periods between them like this:
^K..........Z
(note: ^K represents the Ctrl-k, you don't actually type the ^ character).

Regards,  Mike
