I have an ANSI file that I want to display when a menu is selected,
before going to the selected menu.

Have you tried using pablo draw and adding |PA where you want it to
pause, with a |CL where you want clear screens?

No, I didn't. I tried it and it worked. Thank you.

I would have thought that there would have been a way to display a long ANSI with pauses inbetween, but this works fine.

I am surprised that your ANSI was not pausing on it's own, but I prefer
the pipe code anyway, as opposed to the "Y/N/Continue" pause prompt
that displays beyond 24 lines. It may have just been how your ANSI was
saved.. But glad you got it working.

I didn't make the ANSI. I have another which elsewhere, does pause.
Using the same command I thought would result in the same result.

I suspect it may be a bug in Mystic? But I've got a workaround now.

Screen pauses works by the physical lines in the file, so if the ANSI is not saved with unlimited line length then pausing may be strange.

If you want to fix it your problematic file you should be able to load it up in Mystic's ANSI editor and save it with the "Line Length" set to 0 and that should do it.
