I created a new Menu off the mail menu, it is called Weather. When I select
'W' from the main menu, it open up another menu called Weather just fine. I can select the options I placed on the Weather Menu no issues and also 'Q'
back to the main no issue.

My Question:
On any other menu there is a ANSI graphic that is layered on the menu, I
would like to incorporate a weather ANSI graphic on the top of the menu
almost like the other menus. How to I do this?

You need to jump into the menu editor.

Select the menu you want to work on

Use / key to bring up menu settings

Choose 'settings'

Look for the menu header entry

The file name after the MCI DF code will be the file being displayed at the
top of the Mystic menu.

e.g.

ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß Menu Settings (vote) ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßÜ
Û
Description ³ Voting booth menu Û
Access ³ s10 Û
Fallback ³ Û
Menu Type ³ Standard Û
Input Type ³ User Defined Û
Input Chars ³ Uppercase Û
Use Global ³ Yes Û
Node Status ³ Û
Display File ³ VOTE Û
Display Cols ³ 2 Û
Menu Header ³ |DFvotehdr Û
Menu Prompt ³ |CRCommand -> Û
X ³ 0 Û
Y ³ 0 Û ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÛ

You will find that in the text dir

It can be an ascii or ansi file with the .asc or .ans extension.

Mystic will display it above your Mystic generated menu.

If you would prefer to display a full ascii or ansi menu you create instead
of using the mystic displayed menu then create a file (using this menu
example) with the name of vote (again with an asc and ans extension if you
want to display both versions of the menu file.)

So at Agency my 'main menu' settings look like this

Description ³ Main menu
Access ³ s10
Fallback ³
Menu Type ³ Lightbar
Input Type ³ User Defined
Input Chars ³ Uppercase
Use Global ³ Yes
Node Status ³ Main Menu
Display File ³ main
Display Cols ³ 3
Menu Header ³
Menu Prompt ³ |DFmainxpmt
X ³ 0
Y ³ 0
ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ

I have a two files in my text dir called main.asc and main.ans for the ascii and ansi versions and mystic displays those files for the menu screen

I also have a ansi prompt that displays separately at the bottom of the
screen and the |DF command is used to display the mainxpmt file (also save in .asc and .ans versions)

Hope that helps
