    Don't zero-out static variables for option index/barThis prevents re-entry to the door configurations from returning to the previously highlighted menu option. Not sure why this was, but clearly re-zeroing static variables makes no sense in the first place.

    Use "Message Editors" instead of the (vague) "External Editors"

    It was redudnant having "External Editors" under "External Programs" (they're all external, yeah?) and of course, "Editors of what?"

    In addition to editing messages, I thought those editors would also be used for other things, such as when the user edits their signature? I thought "external editors" made sense.

    Yeah, I considered "Text Editors", but they're mainly known as "Message Editors" in the BBS world. "External" is implied.

    Fix bug with fixed event toggles

    I'm totally perplexed that none of the compilers we have warned about this obvious incorrect usage of the toggle_flag() function. Not warning about passing false (0/NULL) for a char* makes some sense, but not the passing of
    a const char* in place of a bool (int)? Maybe we should be building with
    -Wall?

    scfg: rich helpbuf for External Programs menu

    Replace the two-line stub with per-sub-menu descriptions for all 6
    entries (Fixed Events, Timed Events, Native Program List, Message
    Editors, Global Hot Key Events, Online Programs/Doors). Intro
    clarifies these all run under the Terminal Server (events on its
    event thread, the rest in online-user node context).

    Notable corrections vs. the old draft:

    - Global Hot Key Events aren't "sysop hot-keys" -- they're gated by
    per-event ARS and any user meeting them can trigger.
    - Message-editor example uses SlyEdit (the actual popular editor)
    rather than the invented "SyncEdit".
