    Just to add to that, WWIV doesn't have any way to modify menus and the prompts either back then. With Mystic everything that is sent to the
    user can be changed using the theme system without any programing.

    Are you sure? Because I remember just about every WWIV board here in
    Huntsville having custom menus on it. And if I remember correctly (I HAVE
    slept a few times since then) we were even able to customize the prompts
    in the source code.

    Yeah thats was the point I was trying to make. Besides ansi files shown for the menu, you needed to have the source code to be able to customize it further. You couldn't change prompts or how those menus functioned with it.
