This is what I was shooting for.  The key is I have to make it easy
and simple while at the same time implementing fancy features.  I was
thinking about setting it up so that their are flags for things such
as bulletin boards.  But in the absence of a client that has been set
up to handle these, defaulting to part of the standard window.

I would love to have buttons and the such possible, but the problem is
where to stop?  If I go too far, it is a new programming language in
itself.  If I don't go far enough, no one will ever use it.
