Well I know that. I was just wondering why bbs.menu_exists() didn't test for the same set of menu types that bbs.menu() can display. It was just unexpected to have it not find my .ans. I really don't want to keep multiple copies in different formats and convert menus back and forth every time I have a new one made or make a change (especially while I'm in the process of making a lot of changes.)

Either way, I just wanted to ask since it seemed inconsistant at the time, but I'm sure there's a reason so I'm not looking to die on this hill. :) I'm using a slightly less hidious way of accomplishing what I was doing, but not as readable as if I could have used bbs.menu_exists();  It's still down to 3 lines of code as opposed to 6 or 7 like it was before so yay. :)
