Hi all -

I have been trying to understnad the logic behind why changing menus is so 
involved, where as there is an actual editor for this provided by Mystic and 
other BBS software.  I can see the power of making menus run off JavaScript, 
but for those of us who know next to nothing about the language, have low 
vision and/or prefer the WYSIWYG of a dynamic menu system makes changing your 
BBS into something more unique a snap.  I've been running Synchronet on my lab 
VM and Mystic on my production host.  The only reason I went with Mystic is for 
the menu "overcomplexity".

Did I basically just say "Synchronet is not for me", or is this something that 
could be incorporated as perhaps a secondary option for menu creation/editing?
