    DC> 1.  I didn't see anything in the readme.txt regarding using this with   
    DC> menus.  I'd love if Mystic could auto detect which terminal size was   
    DC> being used, and then display the appropriate menu (80x25 or 132x36).  I   
      
   Mystic does auto detect terminal sizes, and the latest version does allow   
   menus to be named the same as other display files and templates (for both   
   randomly selected menus, and menus dynamically selected based on either   
   columns, lines, or both)!   
      
   Download the latest and you should be good to go!   
      
    DC> 2.  I'm noticing the pause prompt still defaults to line 25, even if the   
    DC> 132 ansi is 35 lines in length, therefore pausing   
    DC> 2/3rds down, but within the ANSI file, instead of below it.  I'm using   
      
   If you have a display file that is not saved at unlimited line length then you   
   will have this issue, so that is my guess as to why you are seeing this.    
   Lines are counted by linefeeds saved in the actual file, so if you don't save   
   the ANSI with unlimited line length (ie ANSImation, etc) then it will not   
   accurately pause during display.
