Subj : Corona Tracker v2; switching back to ANSI/CP437..

I've installed the Corona Tracker v2 mod...

The .ANS that is created uses [ESC CODE]0;42 D to switch fonts to Amiga Topaz
in SyncTerm... the Corona Tracker .ANS is displayed perfectly, in Amiga
glory...

Then, the publisher says to display the same [ESC CODE]0;42 D to switch it
back... (Actually, the installation.txt just says to display "D".. but
anyway, neither are working..)

This was supposed to be updated in v2 to require no input from the
sysop-side, but currently the publisher doesn't think v2 has the updated code
in the script.

Anyway, after I display the ctracker_mystic.ans file, I've tried both DISPLAY
LINE OF TEXT, and every iteration of ESC0;42 D -- using the hex, /033 for
ESC... trying differnet spaces and ways; but nothing I do changes the font
back.. AND tried to display A FILE, amiga.ans that I created with the [ESC
CODE]0;42 D in IT...

if using SyncTerm, the .ANS switches to Amiga font to display the
corona tracker ansi; but then doesn't switch back and everything else after
is messed up, displaying wrong characters because its stuck in Amiga mode..

(Or at least I think..)

Anyone have any suggestions? I *really* like the corona tracker mod, and it
looks great with the Amiga font... I know I could write a .sh and strip the
amiga code that ENTERS into that font... but the .ANS wouldn't look as cool
as it does, so I don't want to do that.

And I'm not a pro, but man... I think I've done everything correctly. Maybe
I'm entering the wrong [ESC CODE] that Mystic comprehends... or just
something wrong. ??
