I think that by itself is pretty awesome as a form of dynamic "front page"
content to the BBS. Especially opposed to a static html file.

HTML would make sense. Could another possibility be something like the mark up
language used in something like phpBB boards? Not that I can imagine how that
would work on the Terminal side of things... maybe a custom reader for that
section of the text BBS. Which sounds like more work... that I couldn't really
do if I tried... lol. But just tossing ideas out ;-)
