    I have a question: I dont fully follow the distinction between
    menu[items] and an ansi menu screen. In the default theme, a ans/asc
    file is displayed before the items from the menu, as configured thru the menu editor...

    In the menu editor screen go into one of the menus and hit /S for settings. There's a field for menu header. That's the one you are talking about displaying before the items. Two items above that is Display File. If you
    want to display an ans or asc instead of the autogenerated menu create the
    file and then put the name of it there.

    Will this file be resized to fit the top of the area or shown in all its size. Apam did a couple of ANSI images I would like to use...but they are

    They don't get resized, they replace the autogenerated menu.

    If you use Menu Header then it is displayed and an auto-generated menu based
    on your menu entries are shown.
    If you use a Display File it replaces the autogenerated menu.

    Either way whatever size you save them as (80x25 or 80x12 or whatever) is
    what it is. If you use an 80x25 as the menu header then it will display the entire file and scroll part of it off the screen as it tries to display the rest of the menu. Just depends on how many items you have in the menu really.
