I'll try to hit a couple of things you mentioned.
For capture files for each BBS, write a macro like this:
{:bbs} {capt y,bbs.cap} {}
and refer to that macro in your dialing dir. Do this for each BBS using a 
different name and capture file.
 
CS-Mac 1.3A can do the thing where files are strewn into different 
directories based on extention.
You can have numeric loops in macro files.
{setv num,0} {:num} {incr num} {comp num,20} {ifco-e done} stop if the number 
reaches 20. put whatever command here. {goto num}
{:numdone} done with loop.
 
You can also do addition/subtraction/multiplication/division with numeric 
variables and scripts can be written to do other things with them too.
You basically have unlimited macro files since you can call new macro files 
with call, goto, and some other commands. MacroBBS uses I believe at least 
.
That's a reply to about 10% of your long message.
