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.
