   If a sysop would like to decorate the number used to select a door program,   
   then %3u is going to put spaces in the wrong place. For example. I like mine   
   to look like this:

   However, it seems impossible to achieve without altering the code, which makes   
   it difficult to keep in step with any changes.    
      
   Maybe there should be an "initial_margin" or some padding option that will   
   make sure the first part (number) always lines up to the left.    
      
   Otherwise I end up with something junky like this.

   I can't imagine I'm the only sysop that's going to have this issue so prefer   
   it fixed at the base level. Either that or I'm missing something.
