That was what I thought.
But menu commands don't respond properly even when a's name isn't being displayed.

I know that, but names longer than 10 characters result in overflow into the text box borders and into subsequent lines of text.

$00 also terminates a name, though the game still looks for $50 when it checks for name validness.

It's most likely due to all the improper NEWLINE characters.
