Most BBS softwares don't use scripting or have a programming language that
work with them at all. Sure, a couple of the softwares brought up in this
conversation actually do, but most don't. So I'm not sure where this comment
comes from. You don't /need/ to program anything at all. Old school menu
editing, Modifying prompts, changing all the screens, putting content on there
that isn't the same as everyone else's, etc. doesn't involve programming.

With SlyEdit, for example, you don't need control keys. On an empty line, "/Q"
can be used to quote, "/S" can be used to save, as well as other options. This
may even be an option in some other external editors, and maybe even
Synchronet's line editor (but I haven't used them recently, so that's why I
brought up SlyEdit specifically).

Regards,
Nick
