   My reader actually works similarly to Synchronet's internal reader as far as   
   opening with a message and allowing forward & back navigation, etc. - But it   
   does allow displaying the message list and jumping around to different   
   messages.  Also it provides the ability to scroll up & down in a message (only   
   for ANSI users; it does fall back to a traditional interface for non-ANSI   
   users).  My reader is based on an earlier script I wrote which always started   
   up with the message list rather than starting in a message.
