As far as I can tell the only menus affected are the ones with info_ functions
related to them (xferinfo, maininfo). All other custom menus load and all
cmdkeys work as expected.

Interestingly enough, I had already used forward-slashes on the other menu
calls. I've changed the File Info Menu call to "menu darkside/xferinfo" without
the quotes obviously. I still had the same issue.
I believe I've isolated the cause although I don't understand it.
I have not yet created custom .ans files for xferinfo or maininfo, but was
about to. As a quick and dirty test I had originally copied xferino.asc to
menu/darkside then I used asc2ans to convert.
I have since opened xferinfo.ans into an editor, made a minor text change and
saved. Now the info_ functions work correctly when that menu is displayed.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you can shed some light
on this for me. :)
Thanks,
