    Log Message:
    Add space after numeric value on second line of DOORFILE.SR

    This appears to work around a bug in BRE, FE, and TAL where they don't recognize the "1" (ANSI supported) unless there is at least one other
    character on the line following the decimal digit, resulting in the
    unnecessary prompting of the user:
    This game is much more enjoyable with ANSI graphics enabled.
    Do you want ANSI Graphics? (Y/n)

    As reported by "ben" in IRC.

    Log Message:
    Clear any mouse hot-spots before executing external program from exec_xtrn()

    As Nelgin pointed out, mouse hot-spots were still active when running external programs (door games) - so clear any active hot-spots before running external programs.

    This could possibly be done in external() instead, but this sufficient for
    now. I wouldn't want a menu that EXEC's something (via @-code) to lose all its hot-spots as a result.

    Log Message:
    Add support for command-line specifiers in external program 'startup dir'

    The exception is: DOS programs on Linux (e.g. Linux DOSEMU), due to the
    funky drive letter mappng, this can't be supported for those external
    programs.

    As requested by Fluid via IRC, for Frotz support, to store user-unique
    data files in data/user/####.something (e.g. "%juser/%4.zork").

    Log Message:
    Don't close logfile_fp before running JavaScript externals

    This would've prevented some JS log functions from writing to the node.log file (which gets concatented onto the daily "system" log files).

    This just came up via code review while looking into Keyop's reported error: term Node 2 !ERROR 9 (Bad file descriptor) in main.cpp line 4606 (node_thread)
    truncating "logfile" access=0

    This is likely unrelated since the "logfile" is immediately re-opened after executing the external program/script.
