 MR> i dont really think a decent menu editor can be made.

It could be about as good as what Mystic and some other packages have. I find it limiting and a bit clunky, but some people prefer it.

Mine was just a more flexible version of that, and covered most anything you would want to add to a menu on your BBS. It's broken now, but I might remake it at some point.

 MR> i just think something like that is limiting and editing your own command shell really allows you to

Writing / modifying a shell is far better, and I would advocate for that approach before I started making some menu editor do crazy things. A lot of sysops probably aren't taking any special advantage of Baja or JS, though, and the end result would be about the same.
