I thought I was doing so well! but there's now an odd issue occurring when
swapping from one terminal type to another. 

Scenario 1: Log in a Mode 7 terminal everything's fine, Next login using an
ANSI terminal, message summary screen overlays some text over avatar, Log out,
Log in again using ANSI terminal everything is fine.
Scenario 2:  Login to Mode 7 after having previously used ANSI terminal and
some prompts are not using the BBC "language.ini" customisation (but some are,
and some are, but ignoring the colour codes). The main menu is shifted after
the first row, log out, log back in using Mode 7 and everything is fine. 

I've put screenshots here:
http://beebs.ddns.net/BeeBS/My_Albums/Pages/Synchronet.html which probably make
more sense.

Previously before I added the terminal type selection at logon when the user
used to have to change the terminal settings manually (using D from the main
menu) this also required the user to log out and back in for all  settings to
take effect. Is there a command that will "refresh" the settings to ensure
they're all being used? 

This is the terminal selection script I've cobbled together:

switch (userChoice) {
    case "4":
		user.lang = "ascii";
		user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP |
USER_WIP | USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);
		user.settings &= ~USER_NO_EXASCII;
		user.screen_columns = 40;
		user.screen_rows = 25;
        break;
    case "7":
		user.lang = "bbcmicro";
		user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP |
USER_WIP | USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);
		user.settings &= ~USER_NO_EXASCII;
		user.screen_columns = 40;
		user.screen_rows = 25;
        break;
    case "8":
		user.lang = "ansi";
		user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_RIP | USER_WIP |
USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);
		user.settings &= ~USER_NO_EXASCII;
		user.settings |= USER_ANSI;
		user.screen_columns = 80;
		user.screen_rows = 25;
        break;
    default:
		user.lang = "ascii";
		user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP |
USER_WIP | USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);
		user.settings &= ~USER_NO_EXASCII;
		user.screen_columns = 40;
		user.screen_rows = 25;
        break;
}

Thanks again,
Ed
