    Modified Files:
    exec/xtrn_sec.js
    Log Message:
    Support text/menu/xtrn<sec-code>.* and text/menu/xtrn<sec-code>_head.* files

    Using the xtrn program section internal code protects against renumbering upon configuration changes (inserting/removing program sections).
    At Nelgin's suggestion/request.

    Log Message:
    Refactor commit b63b3bb3a85 (customizable xtrn program section menu)

    Use the text.dat strings that corresponded with the previous behavior
    (used by console.uselect()). The defaults include new-lines, so removed
    some hard-coded console.crlf() calls that were added. If you have a
    custom section_header_fmt, you'll likely need to add a \r\n to it.

    Allow the "External Program Section" title string to be customized
    (separately from section_header_fmt, e.g. for localization).

    Save/use the current section.

    Mouse-enable the program section list.

    Log Message:
    Support text/menu/xtrn*_tail even when xtrn<secnum|name> menu exists.

    Previously, the xtrn*_tail menu was only displayed in the programmatic menu mode.

    Also, using the P_NOERROR mode flag for bbs.menu() to simplify all the if/else logic.

    And use require() instead of load().

    "center" feature/option added and text.dat section header suppression

    Add support for modopts.ini "center=true" option to center single-column program listing in the terminal.

    When a custom section header files (xtrn<sec>_head.*) is displayed, don't
    print the XtrnProgLstHdr string from the text.dat.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    If you aren't using a custom xtrn menu head per section, then you might fall back on a global one...but the prior logic would not display the actual section heading if it used a global (xtrn_head) file. If you are using xtrn_head, you don't have anything in there with a section name, so display the section name from code again

    Fix default program section selection

    Hitting [Enter] is supposed to select the current/default program
    section. Instead, it was quitting. This was apparently broken as
    part of the xtrn_sec.js refactor a year or so ago by/with mlong.

    Log Message:
    Add a carriage-return to the mouse hotspot value when needed

    For program listings, if the program number is fewer digits than the total program list count (number of digits), then a carriage return is required
    to launch that program. Automate this for the mouse hotspot value, so clicking Program #1 in a list of 10+ will just run that program and not require the
    user to hit the Enter key.

    Log Message:
    Don't treat Enter as choosing default section when no prompt was shown

    As pointed out via DOVE-Net by DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA):
    When xtrn_sec.* display file/menu is used, there's no auto-generated
    prompt (with a default section number indicated). So hitting Enter
    in this case and having the previous/default program section selected
    would be surprising behavior to a user. So, only support a default
    section selection when there was no xtrn_sec.* menu/display file.
