It's not just about the ANSI..  You can change the commands to whatever you
want too, if that suites you.

One thing I didn't like so much about some BBS menu sets is that if you're in
one sub-menu, you often have to go back to the main menu to get to another
sub-menu (such as going from the file transfer menu to the games menu, for
instance).  I wanted to have a menu structure where users could go from (pretty
much) any sub-menu directly to any other sub-menu (basically requiring a set of
global commands).  I also have my message menu as a separate menu from the main
screen.  So my commands are a fair bit different from the stock Synchronet menu
commands.

Yeah, I like Synchronet for the features it has and ability to customize it.
