Ok--thanks for the clarification on these points as well as supplying a
sample message.

Excellent.  I have variable substitution working for the first display
line and will soon apply to the second--as well as the Pic and Link
elements so that minor syntax tweaks to the URLs will be possible w/o me
immediately creating a new release.

I'm pulling as much from directly applicable ZM config options as I can.
Those tend to be global across all monitors.  Per-monitor config
changes should probably be deferred until I consider a totally different
config structure than what exists now.

Ok--good.

I'll have to learn to use this ;)

Given that the above seems to be working well and the other request to
reduce monitor reports to 5 minutes is in place, I will plan on a
release this weekend.  It probably won't include camera control (that
will be next release) but hopefully will address some of the doc
deficiencies.
