   Hi Rob...   
      
    DM> So whatever happened after this? Are you still having problems with text   
    DM> colors/attributes?   
      
   Yeah, sorry for delay - my work has kept me busy the last week or so, and this   
   is the first time I've had chance to come back and revisit!   
      
   Not only did I change the menomic as suggested, I searched the "text.dat" file   
   for all instances of "Message Groups" of which there was two. I then copied   
   the text lines as you showed in last message into a new text.ini file, and   
   replaced any occurrence of "\1g" with "\1m". Saved the file, and logged on to   
   the BBS and no change. I even tried "systemctl restart sbbs" to see if I   
   needed to flush the BBS in some way, and it made no difference. So I am at a   
   loss as to why these codes are not being picked up. It's very strange.   
      
   All the best   
   Dave
