Okay, did you try a different user and see what happens?

So I think you're referring to the 'lang' user property (not something I think of as a "terminal type setting"). But anyway, after making a change to the current user's 'lang' property, call bbs.load_user_text() to re-load the ctrl/text.<lang>.ini file.

I still can't can't think of a reason why "ansi" and "ascii" would require different language files.
