Subj : New sysop with a few questions

Hello sysops. I've suddenly become interested in creating and running my own
BBS, and I'd like to modify Synchronet's menus in order to give it my own look
and feel.

I've already read the customization guide for sysops and it's really good. But
I have a couple of problems; hopefully I haven't missed something obvious.

I decided to download PabloDraw in order to edit the .ans files I converted.
Here's my biggest issue, however: http://i.imgur.com/6EHeZ.png

As you can see, this file is a little garbled-looking. I can see that there are
CTRL codes that are causing it to look that way, and when they're actually
being displayed it looks much nicer. I was wondering if there's some way to
display the file a bit more "correctly" so that I can have an easier time
editing it.

Here's another example: http://i.imgur.com/IVhrz.png

I've looked at the .src files and they look easy enough to edit. I can probably
just comment out commands in the default.src in order to restrict users from
going to certain screens, right? I assumed default.src was for the main menu
here.

One issue I've had with looking at the src files is that there's a strange
character in an oval shape that says "SOH" inside it wherever there's a CTRL
code. This is from displaying it in notepad++. Is there a better program I
could use that would display the CTRL codes properly?

Thanks, and I apologize for my noobishness. I think I accidentally deleted one
of Digital Man's posts and I'm not sure if that affects DOVE-Net entirely or
just my BBS locally. I'll be more careful when scrolling through messages from
now on.
