Yeah it happens to all users.

This has definaetly fixed mode 7 not using control codes after an ANSI login
and ANSI using text.bbc.ini after a Mode 7 login! Thanks!

different language files.
Some prompts are >40 characters which looks a bit messy when it goes on to a
seperate line. And some use [ ] which in mode 7 displays as a left and right
arrow. Having each as their own lang is a simple way for me to detect which
terminal type the client is using so that custom modules can be loaded for each
terminal type. For example msglist.js now is a script detecting the terminal
type (via checking the lang setting) and then branches off in to
msglistbbc.js/msglist.js

So now the only issue seems to be that all terminal types for the first logon
after a change of terminal type between Mode 7 and ANSI causes ANSI to scroll
at row 13 and *Press any key to continue*. In terms of columns it is either
adding or taking away 40 columns from the column width for both ANSI and Mode
7. Examples of how this manifests itself here:

similar to bbs.load_user_text() for terminal row and height?
