This was on the pegasos, right? I have a pegasos myself and this is
on my todo list. It is just that not the correct characters are used
to draw the menu. I suspect this is a bug in the firmware (IOW: it
does not use ANSI, which IIRC is in the IEEE 1275 spec.), so we need
to come up with a workaround.
