I tried that, but it did not work.  There's no "Normal" setting in the ALT-J
Animation Menu.  And saving 3rdalt.txt (created by Lordmenu) in ANSI mode, with
255 max bytes per line, using an output file 3rd_alt.txt did not help any.
When I loaded 3rd_Alt.txt, it looked just like the original file.  Shows
"L.O.R.D." in squashed ascii characters, the phrase  line "Choose your path
wisely", then it just shows the final line for the menu.  Which is entries 27
followed by 26.  I have 27 igms installed.

On the ALT-J menu, the only choices are R(everse scan), F(lip mirrors...), Top,
Left, Clock, Circles, Checkerboard, Angle, Gate, Pyramid, Squares, Scrambled,
Door, Diamond, Wiggle, and Wiggle-Out.  None of which make any sense to me.  Am
I supposed to edit the 3rdalt.txt in Thedraw using an ANS extension?  Donald
