    Log Message:
    xtrn_sec.js: arrow-key navigation, highlight and paging via select_item.js

    The external program section and program lists are now displayed and
    answered through select_item() (issue #1346), as the text file section
    lists are:

    - Lists that don't fit on the screen are paged, with an [x-y of n]
    indicator, rather than scrolled off the top.
    - New modopts.ini [xtrn_sec] options default_item_prefix,
    nondefault_item_prefix, default_item_attr and more_fmt mark and
    highlight a default item that the arrow, Home/End and PgUp/PgDn keys
    move and Enter chooses. In a program list, the default item is the
    program last run. Without these options the lists look as they did,
    Enter does what it did and the navigation keys only page.
    - The marker is left out of a two-column list that would be wider than
    the screen with it (the stock format at 80 columns); the highlighted
    name marks the default item there.
    - The name is highlighted only when the item format displays it with a
    plain %s or a fixed-width field (e.g. %-32.32s).
    - With clear_screen disabled, a list is displayed as before, without
    paging or navigation.
    - The multicolumn, center, sort and align options, the head and tail
    menu files and the menu files displayed in place of a list (answered
    by number only) are unchanged.

    select_item.js gained what this needed:

    - columns and column_separator options: the items are listed down each
    column in turn and the left and right arrow keys move between the
    columns. A list longer than a page of columns is displayed in whole
    pages, redrawn on a page change.
    - header may be a function, and a new footer function displays what
    goes between the list and the prompt. A footer that pushes the prompt
    off the screen is measured and the list redisplayed in the rows left.
    - no_clear option: display the list without clearing the screen, not
    paged and without the navigation keys.

    The stock modopts.ini enables the marker and highlight.
