- Actually, some of the problem is figured out thanks to George.
- If a line of ANSI has a percent variable in it, Waffle will redirect
- it out to the console via the ANSI driver if it is specified. So
- if it doesn't, you could just append a ~%* to it. This works for
- stuff under menus, text, and words. I have a nice set of color text
- menus and they work fine. The exception are the two console menus...
-
- Users online (I really want it for my BBS, I could care less about
- locally...) also get the ANSI screens without any problem. However,
- it seems that when one goes and starts reading news, Waffle resets
- the color to the plain light grey again. One problem fixed, another
- found. :-) Guess that's life though...
