Added the ability to display a custom header file above the area lists in the area choosers.  Added the configuration options areaChooserHdrFilenameBase and areaChooserHdrMaxLines to specify the filename (without the extension) and maximum number of lines from the header file to use.  These are still beta versions, but these should be ready for an official release soon.

7. Revision History
===================
Version Date Description
------- ---- -----------
1.09 2016-01-17 Added a command-line parameter to let the user choose a
message sub-board only within their current message
group, or file directory only within their current file
library.
1.08 2015-04-19 Added customizable color settings for the key help text
line displayed at the bottom of the screen in lightbar
mode. Also, updated to allow the PageUp and PageDown
keys to be used instead of the P and N keys to go to the
previous & next pages in lightbar mode.
1.07 2014-12-22 Message area chooser:
Bug fix: Made this.colors.subBoardHeader apply to the
whole line rather than just the page number.
Bug fix: The initial display of the page number is now
correct (previously, it would start out saying page 1,
even if on another page).
Documentation & example configuration files:
Added the color options subBoardHeader (for the message
area chooser) and fileAreaHdr (for the file area chooser)
to the documentation and example configuration files.
1.06 2014-09-14 Bug fix: Updated the lightbar highlight format string to
include a normal attribute at the end to avoid the
highlight color to be used when clearing the screen,
etc. Bug reported by Psi-Jack.
1.05 2013-05-10 Bug fix in the file area chooser: When listing
directories in a file group, it would sometimes
crash due to an incorrect array index used, and
the array was not set up. Those have been fixed.
1.04 2013-05-04 Updated to properly format message sub-boards and
file directories with more than 9999 entries. The
formatting is now dynamically adjusted depending
on the greatest number of entries in a sub-board
for a message group or file directory in a file
library (the descriptions will shrink as the
text length of the greatest number of entries
increases).
1.03 2012-11-30 Bug fix: After leaving the help screen from the
sub-board/directory list, the top line is now
correctly written with the page information as "Page
# of #".
1.02 2012-10-06 For the lightbar interface, the current page number is
now displayed at the top of the screen (along with the
total number of pages) and is updated when going to a
new page.
1.01 2011-04-22 Fixed the wording when choosing a message sub-board and
file library.
