The variable 'exit_code' is only used for the return value if it's a number.
Bug-fix: sbbs_srand() wasn't being called - random number generator wasn't
being seeded.

Added a "Happy Birthday" message to user if
it is their Birthday.

a non-zero positive number.

selected and acts as a seperator.  Pipe-codes still result in highlighting,
but the "hotkey" isn't.

I can't find a way to pass a single numeric variable by reference.

Oh well, JS is supposed to do objects anyways.  :-)

***NOTE***
Current is the first item that had the returned retval, NOT necessarily
the selected item (if the same retval is used by multiple items)

Make spaces between horizontal options the default attribute.
Rename uber-function to lightbar_func.
Add object support.  Create a new Lightbar object with:
var lb=new Lightbar();
Or optionally specify items like so:
var lb=new Lightbar([{text:"Option1",retval:"1"},{text:"Option2",retval:"2"}]);
Add a new option to the end of the items like this:
lb.add(text, retval [, width]);
Clear the items array using:
lb.clear();
Execute the lightbar with:
lb.getval([currentindex]); // Returns the retval for the selected item

Properties are:
  xpos: Horizontal position of lightbar menu (1-based)
  xpos: Vertical position of lightbar menu (1-based)
  items: an array of objects each having the following properties:
         text - The displayed text.  A | prefixes a hotkey
         retval - The value to return if this is selected
       OPTIONAL Properties:
         width - The width of this item.  If not specified, is the width of
                 the text.  Otherwise, the text is truncated or padded with
                 spaces to fit the width.
  direction: 0 for vertical, 1 for horizontal.
             Horizontal menus always have one space of padding added between
             items.
  fg: Foreground colour of a non-current item
  bg: Background colour of a non-current item
  hfg: Foreground colour of a current item
  hbg: Background colour of a current item
  kfg: Hotkey forground colour for non-current item
  khfg: Hotkey foreground colour for current item
  current: Index of currently highlighted item (ToDo: This should be passed by reference (how?)!)
  align: If width is greater than the text length, a zero indicates the text
         should be left-aligned, a 1 indicates it should be right-aligned, and
         a 2 indicates it should be centered.

The Lightbar object will display a list of options and prompt the user for
a selection if lightbar_func() returns NULL.

Still todo... make the current value stay at the last selected one.

Currently, there are WAY to many options... this needs a set of simplified
wrappers and current needs to be passed by reference somehow.

New properties: sysop_dir, user_dir, upload_dir, and lib[x].offline_dir

the values of the newly defined macros of the same names. These allow easy
comparison for scripts. Example:
    if(system.version_num < 31301) /* v3.13b */
        print("version 3.13b or later required");
system.version_hex allows easy major/minor version number checking, parsing
or printing using right-shift operations instead of division/rounding. Example:
    31301/100 == 313.01
    0x31301>>8 == 0x313
