The command-line changes that had to be made convinced me to add proper command-line editing (arrow keys and all that) to the simple menu system, plus there is now a countdown display for the timeout. Please test it out; I still intend to release on Tuesday unless something comes up. Feel free to comment on the aestetics, by the way. http://www.zytor.com/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Works for me.
Need a menu option to change the position of the timeout countdown. Also I would like an option to change the timeout countdown to just numbers in the lower-right corner of the display.>>> "H.
