Where is your CVS server located? It would be very good to mention this on the
web pages. ;-)

Yes, you are refering to my original posting 2 days ago. The idea was:

What do you think, if we would change the meaning of "priority" in screen_set,
so that a priority of "255" means "show on exit". We could then change main.c
so that exit_program will show the screen with priority >= 255 (instead of
"goodbye_screen") and will then go down. 

To keep the old goodbye message working if no user defined screen is used, we
could enter the goodbye screen with a priority of "256" to keep this as a
"fallback" message. It will be used, if no screen with a higher priority
(=255) is set.

I wanted to know if such a thing would be accepted by the authors _before_ I
start coding...

What do the authors mean?
