I take it that the menu text on the mainscreen under 128E is now fixed in the exe, and that mainm.mnu is now redundant. There isn't an "oldstyle" setting in the ini file such as there is for the picpln screens?

Moggy. There is a string file that the exe uses named "MSText.str"




It gives the old menu items, and two extra.
The old hotspots are used, so in theory you can have a file in which every item is just a single space so you see no text at all other than what is embedded in the screen itself.
The reason I went this way is that the old menu text fonts only really worked with the standard mainscreen palette.
Each character is a multicolored bitmapped rectangle, change the pallete and it is unreadable
This really limited screen designers.
1.28E does not use the old menu fonts.
