Added notes about strings used from text.dat, and some minor misc. changes

Question for you, say I want to change some colors around maybe like when you
hit X it goes to the main doors menu and it is high/light green do I look in
the text.dat file or?

By default, xtrn_sec.js uses a dynamically generated selection list that uses the SelectItemFmt string from ctrl/text.dat.

This string (and others) can be overriden in the [xtrn_sec] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file:
https://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrn_sec

You can also override the external program menus with static (e.g. ANSI art) files. See https://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrn_sec#display_files

Thanks...

read the customization docs on synchronet.
if it's a string you are probably editing text.dat
if it's from a script you are editing the script.

That is what I'm looking for, I'll do some more study on this and see how
it goes, be forwarned I may ask for being your the developer.

But all I can say is:

Thank you!

Your signature appears to have a lot of blank lines in it. Intentional?
