 ! Fixed a bug introduced in A17 when using CTRL+U in the user editor to
   upgrade security levels.

 ! Fixed the description editor in file base editor.  For now its just going
   to load the message editor until I decide how I want to redo this part.

 ! Reverted my A17 changes in the string library, because while its a
   performance increase, its too risky to wait and find/fix all of the things
   that break because of the change.  This will fix a lot of the new quirks
   that have shown up out of nowhere since A17.

 + Added some additional logging into the population and updating of FLO
   files when exporting echomail via MUTIL.

 + Mystic's networked QWK packets should now honor the actual date and time of
   the message.

 ! Mystic's menu editor was not regenerating a new UID when pasting a menu
   command.  This really only causes a problem if someone is using a grid
   style menu.

 + Added new menu action "IT" which opens an outbound telnet session.  The
   optional menu data must contain the address to connect to via the
   following:

      /addr=<address>[:port]

   If no port is specified it will default to 23 for Telnet. For example:

   /addr=mybbs.strangled.net
   /addr=mybbs.strangled.net:2323

   The CTRL+] key is the escape hotkey which will allow the user to
   immediately disconnect from the remote system at any time.

 + Added new menu action "IR" which opens an outbound RLOGIN session. The
   optional data should contain a minimum of an address, username and password
   using the same format for the address as the telnet command, with these
   additional RLOGIN specific commands:

   /user=<username>
   /pass=<password>
   /swap

   Swap tells Mystic to send the username first then password as this is
   typically password then username in the BBS scene, but others require the
   username to be sent first.

   If no port is specified, Mystic will default to port 513 which is the
   default RLOGIN port.  The escape key is ^] just like in Telnet.

   Example:

     /addr=twgs.mybbs.com:513 /user=g00r00 /pass=mypassword /swap

 + The following prompts have replaced some UNUSED prompts in the prompts
   file of each theme, these are used by the TELNET and RLOGIN functions:

     ; TELNET/RLOGIN: Connecting prompt &1 = address &2 = port
     354 |CR|08> |07Escape sequence is |08|15CTRL+|15]|08.|CR|08>
     |07Connecting to |15|&1 |07port |15|&2|08.|CR

     ; TELNET/RLOGIN: Connected successfully
     355 |08> |07Connected.

     ; TELNET/RLOGIN: Unable to connect
     356 |08> |12Unable to connect: Press a key|PN

 ! Possibly fixed a bug in the message base packer that could cause corrupted
   message bases in certain circumstances.
