Maybe thats why the idea was killed off, or has'nt been updated? it's all in
CVS, unless I'm thinking wrong, these appear to be JS that send HTML code over
a TERMINAL connection.. eg HTML_yes_no.js, etc..

yea.. 2007 was the last time they were fooled with... I guess this was before
html became more "interactive" beats me.. I thought it would have been cool..

maybe it was'nt even what I though it was going to be, but it appears to be a
dupilicate of the generic synchronet system that outputs html formatted text
instead of regular text. the html.bin detects whether they have the HTML
terminal, if does it sends to html_shell.js if not it sends them to default.js.
