NULL mag Issue 07 28 Thumbnail menu
lets build a custom and very unique mystic menu screen, by using thumb-
nails as menu selections!!!
by using the following files, at the end you will find a menu screen,
with four choices to select, which 3 of them are thumbnail ansi
pictures. each time you will select a choice with the cursor keys,
the new selection/image will be highlighted and the previous one will
dim out.
this implementation is only a proof of concept. if you leave your
imagination, with the same process you will be able to make magnificent
menu screens. below it's a preview.

Selection:
copy/paste each section to a separate file with the name in the header.
the .mnu file name it as you like. the .ans files should be placed
inside your text directory of your theme (default is text).
make the new .mnu file to be activated by a menu command, for example
in the main menu and test the result. i hope you like it.
*** the following ansis are from the synchronet avatar library. ***
