The idea is to display a Rich Text Format document *instead* of the
text only menu. RTF can contain images of course. It also implements
some kind of hyper links - so when you click on specific word it will
open a new document/menu.
An example of such menu (source) can be seen here:

Specification is available here:

And here:

You can also see, that there was not much enthusiasm about it back
then ... But it was simple to add the support for it so I did it :-)
