    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/scfg/scfgxtrn.c
    Log Message:
    scfg: rich helpbuf for External Programs menu

    Replace the two-line stub with per-sub-menu descriptions for all 6
    entries (Fixed Events, Timed Events, Native Program List, Message
    Editors, Global Hot Key Events, Online Programs/Doors). Intro
    clarifies these all run under the Terminal Server (events on its
    event thread, the rest in online-user node context).

    Notable corrections vs. the old draft:

    - Global Hot Key Events aren't "sysop hot-keys" -- they're gated by
    per-event ARS and any user meeting them can trigger.
    - Message-editor example uses SlyEdit (the actual popular editor)
    rather than the invented "SyncEdit".
