Is there a way to move over the part where it says Which, Quit, or {1} so ti is lined up with the new menu I made? It looks out of place being off to the side like that and would like to have it moved over if possible.
There are at least a couple ways I can think of. You could edit your command shell and add spaces in front of the "Which, Quit, or {1}" text so that it lines up with your menu. Or you could edit your menu file and put the "Which, Quit, or {1}" text in the menu file so that it lines up, and edit your command shell to not output that text and just wait for input. You could also perhaps edit your command shell to read your menu file and figure out where the lines start, so that your shell can line up the prompt text automatically.

I am not seeing in the command shell where any of this would be. Unless I am not looking in the right place for the files to edit. So if you could give me some other idea on where to find this it would be very helpful.

The "Which, Quit, or ..." prompt text is in your ctrl/text.dat file. That said, I don't think modifying that prompt text is the solution.

Remove the trailing carriage-return/line-feed of your menu file. If the last characters of your menu file are "Selection: ", then the "Which, Quit, or [1]:" prompt should appear on the same line (if it will fit).

I checked and there is no carriage return or line feed at the end of the menu file. Just to make sure I went in and started at the very end of the file and hit the delete several times and it did not make any difference.
So I am going to figure then this means there is no way to do this and have it be moved over. So I guess I will just go back to not having the menu's centered.
Um, most editors will add a CR/LF at the end of every line, automatically. How did you check? Normally, you would use something like a hex-dump utility.

I made the scrren with thedraw and once I saved it then I opened it with notepad and removed the extra stuff it puts at the end of the file.
I will
logon your bbs and upload the file to you so you can look at it. The file name is grps-m.asc.
Here's the tail end of that file:
01EC0: 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 - 20 20 20 20 20 1B 5B 30 :
.[0 01ED0: 6D 0D 0A : m..
The "0D 0A" is a carriage-return line-feed (CRLF) pair.

Ok, so there is still something in there that I can not see then. What program do I need to get so I can see this and use to remove it with?
Any hex dump/viewer program should allow to see the 0D and 0A (if they're there).

Any hex editor should allow you to remove those 2 bytes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_hex_editors
