The only time this is an issue is if a new user signs up one a device with less
than 8- columns (my android phone using JuiceSSH has a width of 38) and has
selected SlyEdit as the editor and then tries to leave a feedback to the SysOP,
it will fail then drop the call and SBBS will delete the new user account ...

so I added 5 lines to SlyEdit.js

inside line 156 if(console.screen_columns < 80)
{
	console.print("\1n\r\n\1h\1w" + EDITOR_PROGRAM_NAME + " requires a
terminal width of at least 80 characters.\1n\r\n\1p";
	
	var new_term = confirm("Would you like to use the internal editor
instead";
	if(new_term) { 
	console.print("Editor Changed to Internal!";
	  user.editor = ""; // blank defaults to internal editor
	}
	exit(1); // 1: Aborted
}  

I tested this and it seems to have the solved the issue.
