   NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.105   
   I am getting errors from trying to Add in the Text File Section. It seems that   
   only a reference in the (section).ini file is produced and text_sec.js farts   
   on the fact that no file is created. Once you hit A for Add, the metadata is   
   requested (filename and description) and then you are dumped back to the   
   Section listing, which is updated with the new description. I would think that   
   the A command would also present the editor and, upon entering text, save it   
   to the indicated file, but it doesn't.   
      
   All attempts to reference that text file from the esction listing (like   
   "information") result in a "No filename specified" error at either line 170 or   
   200, depending on using the A command or the list number to read the   
   non-existent file.   
      
   If I put a textfile (outside the BBS) in place with the proper filename from   
   the .ini file, everything works fine in editing and reading that file through   
   the BBS, so the basic mechanism is working.   
      
   Is there meant to be a file edition/creation happening after the metadata   
   entry in the (A)dd command?  If so, I would respectfully like a fix, probably   
   in text_sec.js .
