   If you wanted to do dynamic per-user instead of creating supported screen   
   sizes what I would do is have a script that creates them if they don't already   
   exist (when the user calls in). I realize that may not be ideal so I have a   
   few other ideas that I was experimenting with:   
      
   - Run MPL script on load and every redraw so you can define coordinates and   
   paint whatever you want using scripting.   
   - Some simple inline scripting when defining coordinates that looks something   
   like: {2+(WinSizeX/2)}   
      
   Mystic will select the largest it can use for each user and BBS terminals   
   usually have a specific screensize like 80x24 or 132x36 though, so for most   
   situations just supporting the common resolutions within your templates will   
   work pretty good for end users. To do it dynamic will of course require some   
   sort of minor scripting though if I am going to continue to put all of the   
   visual power in the SysOp's hands.
