   The other strings are in the ctrl/text.dat file e.g.   
   "\1-\1gSub-boards of \1h%-60.60s \1n\1gMsgs"\             125 SubLstHdr   
           "\r\n\r\n\1h"   
      
   ... which you can override by adding a line to your ctrl/text.ini file   
   (replacing \1g with \1m):   
   SubLstHdr: "\1-\1mSub-boards of \1h%-60.60s \1n\1mMsgs\r\n\r\n\1h"
