Changing Select Screen mode text?

This has probably been asked before, but is there a way to change the mode text that appears at the top of the select screen, for example, replace "Survival" with "Endurance"??
And if not does anyone know any clever way to do so, thanks.

Go to your system.def file and find the option with the display names on the title screen. You can change the names there (I forgot where), but it should work.

open the "System.def" file located in your Data folder

al look for :

[Title Info]

(ctrl+f helps)
And you'll see something like this:

system.def said:
;Title screen definition
[Title Info]
;cursor.move.snd = 100,0
;cursor.done.snd = 100,1
;cancel.snd = 100,2
cursor.move.snd = 100,0
cursor.done.snd = 100,1
cancel.snd = 100,2
menu.pos = 160,168
menu.item.font = 5,0,0
menu.item.active.font = 4,0,0
menu.item.spacing = 0, 11
; Names for each of the items in the menu. Names must be in quotes.
menu.itemname.arcade = "ARCADE"
menu.itemname.versus = "VERSUS"
menu.itemname.teamarcade = "TEAM ARCADE"
menu.itemname.teamversus = "TEAM VERSUS"
menu.itemname.teamcoop = "TAG ARCADE"
menu.itemname.training = "PRACTICE"
menu.itemname.survival = "SURVIVAL"
menu.itemname.survivalcoop = "DOUBLE SURVIVAL"
menu.itemname.watch = "WATCH"
menu.itemname.options = "OPTIONS"
menu.itemname.exit = "EXIT"


change the text I highlighted red to rename the game modes in the select screen

Those only change the TEXT in the title screen, not the text displayed during the Select Screen.
Even if I change the Text there, it doesnt change what I'm assuming is the default name displayed when choosing your characters.

Just open the default Mugen 1.0 (no screenpack) and look above the character select boxes and it displays the mode, for each mode. I was hoping there was something I missed and somehow I could change that text, or is it hardcoded that way?
