As other people have suggested, this is a custom job. You'll probably
want a baja source set of menu commands, then your .asc menus. It's
really not too difficult. You might want to start by taking the default sychronet menu items and making your own copies and start customizing
from there. It's often easier to change what you're familiar with and
see the results. Reposition things on the screen, change some graphics
or colors, etc.
