    All,

    I am seeing a wierd issue with an MPL I am writing. Here is the setup:

    I have the test MPL setup on a secure menu where I test all
    in-development MPLs. From here the script runs just fine. No problems!

    To move the script into production (user beta, to be precise) I created a menu entry on the main menu, exactly like the one from the test menu. However, when the script is executed from the main menu there is no display. The program is running just fine. I know this because I know the keys to press to activate certain functions and I can see the cursor move to the locations indicated by the key presses but the screen displays NOTHING.... The script that is being used for production is the same script as development, no difference in location or compiled MPX. So, from my perspective the only difference between the two are the menus the script is called from.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    FIXED IT!

    Turns out the last color set in my ANSI displays for the main menu is black
    on black. The script did not change the colors before execting. Sooooooo, I set the colors in the script and all is well!!!

    Thanks for watching!
