   Hi Rob, sorry for not being more specific/explaining seemingly odd choices :D   
   >"next login" as the same user or a different user?   
   Same user   
      
   >using a language file to control terminal type   
   I'm using the language file to use different control codes for the user   
   prompts, but the script above to change the users terminal type settings is in   
   logon.js.   
      
   >Which "settings" are you referring to?   
   Changing manually from one terminal type to another. i.e. changing from an ansi   
   supported terminal to soley cp437 used to require the user to log out and back   
   in again (same user account) for all the settings to take effect (this was   
   before adding the terminal prompt at logon and before using the language files   
   to customize prompts). After changing to terminal settings to just cp437 the   
   Mode 7 menus did not display correctly, however when the same user logged out   
   and back in the menus displayed as they should.   
      
   >I looked at it, but doesn't tell me any specific cause.   
   Yeah I'm not sure what the specific cause is. I think it might be column   
   related as the Mode 7 screens corrupt just after @ANODE|L13@ and the ANSI   
   screen is displaying the avatar too far left. Maybe there is something at   
   logoff that re-confirms the users terminal settings and update a flag I've   
   missed.   
      
   >I would think an "ascii" terminal would want no extended ASCII (IBM CP437)   
   characters, so that USER_NO_EXASCII flag should be set (not cleared)   
      
   Oh yes thank you, you're absolutely correct, I'll get that updated.   
      
   The odd terminal choices are because it's primarily designed for a BBC Micro to   
   use, so if you're using ASCII you're most likely in Mode 7 (which leaves the   
   most amount of free memory and displays best on a TV, which is 40 columns), if   
   you're using an ANSI client (of which I think there are only 2 and only one of   
   those supports a *massive* 4 colours) then that is 80 columns and does not   
   support UTF-8   
      
   >If JS, you can just put "default:" on the line before the "case" statement you   
   want to be the default.    
   Great thanks JS is still very new to me I'll implement this.
