If I remember correctly, Scott was a little worried about one aspect of the
QWK environment that _MIGHT_ allow a QWK user to do "bad things"
to the BBS, the end result was part of the reason for the hard coded menu
name. I really wish I still had his reply, it was quite involved...

As for proposing something, well I don't know, I guess it depends on how
configurable the system is in that area and what dangers may exist for
external data (IE a QWK packet) to modify the way the BBS worked.

Cheers.............pk.
