I missed the earlier part of this thread but disagree with the earlier advice
you don't need to blow away all your Display Text menu items. In fact you may
well want them if the user asks for a non ANSI menu like ASCII :)

If you simply want to display an ANSI screen (lets says MAIN.ANS) when your
user has ANSI as their graphics mode, you head to 

mystic -cfg >> editors >> menu editor >> default (assuming a stock install
here) >> main >> press / key to get command list menus >> settings >> in the
'display file' option type in 'main'

Best, Paul
