If I'm following this correctly, you:

1) had it display your new ANSI file
2) were able to select a bulletin by typing in the appropriate number

but you want to do one or both of the following:

1) Have it automatically populate a menu with the listed bulletins
2) have the new header show up in the bulletin

....I'm not at all sure that I read your comment correctly, though. So do tell
me if I'm on the right track.

If those two items _are_ what you want, I'll point out that there's no
automatic menu with the bulletin, because it's not a menu -- it's a script
that you're running. You can probably create a menu, that has various options
that display a text file, and make that into the bulletin menu.

Or you can edit the newbull.ans to have the menu options (and edit it every
time you add or change a bulletin), and then edit the header in each of the
bullet1/2/3.asc files to have the new header in it. (I'd assume .ans would
work, too, but that's an assumption, not something I've tried or checked to
see if the code description says it does that.).
