This is outstanding work.  It's...kind of next-level.  

If anyone is interested in this and running Mystic on Linux, definitely check
the FAQ file near the end:  

export TERM=pcansi 

was absolutely necessary, but once I added that, the display cleared up.

I have a question.  Currently, I'm testing with the following arguments:

-D%P (door.sys hook)
-I%4 (pass geolocated IP address of user)
-U (show current conditions by default)

It would be nice to have an option, upon exiting from the Current Conditions
view, to drop to the main menu for the door, rather than out of the door
entirely.  I totally get why the default behavior is as it is (such as if
you'd like to just show something during the login process) and then
immediately continue on.  

However, for now at least, I'm running this from my Door menu, and it would be
nice to show current conditions by default, then drop back to the menu for the
door with the...almost shocking number of other options.  If this is possible
already, please let me know.

Again, outstanding work.  Getting weather working through DUAT back in the 90s
was, for some odd reason, amazingly satisfying.  This door you wrote is
something else entirely.
