Okay, thanks! I have another question. It maybe stupid, or not make sence. How
do I load the ansi, and embed the lightbar menu inside tha ansi.
I guess I could execute the baja script for the light bar inside the ansi file.
Using the following @EXEC:MODNAME@
And for the curor inside tha ansi by
@codes@
UP              Move cursor up one row                  (ANSI)          3.0b
UP:n            Move cursor up n rows                   (ANSI)          3.0b
DOWN            Move cursor down one row                (ANSI)          3.0b
DOWN:n          Move cursor down n rows                 (ANSI)          3.0b
RIGHT           Move cursor right one column            (ANSI)          3.0b
RIGHT:n         Move cursor right n columns             (ANSI)          3.0b
LEFT            Move cursor left one column             (ANSI)          3.0b
LEFT:n          Move cursor left n columns              (ANSI)          3.0b
GOTOXY:x,y      Move cursor to x/y (1-based)            (ANSI)          3.0b
PUSHXY          Save current cursor position            (ANSI)          3.0b
POPXY           Restore saved cursor position           (ANSI)          3.0b

Inside the ANSI I am trying to display.
I am thinking I would have to create a color to highlight the selected text.
Also, setting a variable for each arrow key, or by using w,a,s,d. I have no
idea how to set a variable for arrow keys..I am sifting through baja
documentation for find this.
I am guessing I need to find some lightbar *.src files for baja to as well. I
can't seem to find any.

Thanks for your time.
