The benefit of using a *.bbs display file instead of an ansi file is that max 
will automagically filter the output of the file to fit the users profile.. 
E.g., a user that can have color graphics, but not an ibm character set can 
still get that from the sam Max *.bbs file as long as he answered the initial 
logon questions that way.  ( Max does this on the fly.. just like the 
pre-canned menu's, and message/file area listings.. ).
