ETC Congo may produce incorrect ASCII. Be sure that the first line of the file is IDENT 3:0. If this does not work, post the contents of the file to the forum. Does the Congo read the file?

It seems that Congo may use a non-standard $CUE instead of CUE. Also the SmartFade may use a non-standard "Ident 3.0" instead of "Ident 3:0" Examples of ascii from these consoles might help so that LXConsole can be modified for these variations. Is there any option in these console to produce standard rather than console specific ascii?

The latest build of LXConsole tolerates/reads some of the non-standard ASCII produced by the Congo and SmartFade consoles.
It allows "Ident 3.0" instead requiring the correct "Ident 3:0" header line.
For the Congo, LXConsole now reads reads $Cue as Cue. Where the standard Cue line has the form Cue [Number] <page>, with the page being optional, the $Cue line seems to have the form $Cue [Sequence] [Number]. At this time, LXConsole does not support multiple cue lists. So in both cases, the page or sequence value is ignored.
