   This is outstanding work.  It's...kind of next-level.     
      
   If anyone is interested in this and running Mystic on Linux, definitely check   
   the FAQ file near the end:     
      
   export TERM=pcansi    
      
   was absolutely necessary, but once I added that, the display cleared up.   
      
   I have a question.  Currently, I'm testing with the following arguments:   
      
   -D%P (door.sys hook)   
   -I%4 (pass geolocated IP address of user)   
   -U (show current conditions by default)   
      
   It would be nice to have an option, upon exiting from the Current Conditions   
   view, to drop to the main menu for the door, rather than out of the door   
   entirely.  I totally get why the default behavior is as it is (such as if   
   you'd like to just show something during the login process) and then   
   immediately continue on.     
      
   However, for now at least, I'm running this from my Door menu, and it would be   
   nice to show current conditions by default, then drop back to the menu for the   
   door with the...almost shocking number of other options.  If this is possible   
   already, please let me know.   
      
   Again, outstanding work.  Getting weather working through DUAT back in the 90s   
   was, for some odd reason, amazingly satisfying.  This door you wrote is   
   something else entirely.
