Message Header

When reading messages, you will often want to create a custom header for the message reading, as an asc/ans file, instead of the default message header driven by TEXT.DAT settings.

The File should exist in ./text/menu/MSGHDR.ASC you can use the ANS2ASC utility for an initial conversion. You will then want to put the appropriate control codes into the message header.

Here are a few codes that I find useful (note the -L### is for padding/trimming the length of an item)
