 If I may, I would suggest as first test, changing in the cfg file 
the line "UI vesamenu.c32" to "UI menu.c32". If the behavior 
improves, you would have (yet another) confirmation that vesamenu.c32 
is not working as expected in 6.xx.

My next suggestion for testing would be to comment out the "UI" 
directive and use "PROMPT 1" instead of "PROMPT 0" so to see if the 
behavior improves (invoking labels and/or the menu from CLI).

Ady.
