i know it's a learning hurdle to get over.  you could always use the renegade 
Menu and modify the baja src.  It's not hard to do that.

there are menu editors for synchronet but i'm not sure if they are finished and 
i think they might be very limited because when  you edit your own command 
Shell you can do whatever you want.
