Hi, i actually was able to figure it out - partialy. at the top of the file,
i typed into the ans file itself "|CL|PO" and it seems to have gotten pass
the error pause message, but now it is scrolling by super fast. is there a
display command that will slow it down? i tried looking in the documented
display codes but was not able to find anything right off the bat. also i
noticed something. the graphic i am replacing it with, was edited together
with Mobeous. however all the colors were wrong. however when i brought the
ans files into a windows VM and saved them with out the sause info, it began
showing the correct colors again. it seems like Mobeous has a hard time
saving metadata to the file, in a language which mystic understands.

aside from that i am in the process of refactoring the menus and have been
farely successful so far. teh only issue i am running into is the menu
printing out underneight the ans graphics. so i am going to have to go back
in later and fix those. however i am getting closer step by step to haveing a
full customized theme for my BBS. Once i am done with that, i am going to
create a few simple template themes for every one, and will be using them for
writing the documentation on how to customize the theme. if i have enought
energy / time, i might even do some videos of me creating them. i figured
that way it would help noobs to customize their own BBS and not be so
intemidated by the process.

Thanks
