    text_sec updated for v3.20+

    There are some changes in here that I forgot the history behind, but the
    most important is that it uses file.ini rather than file.cnf, thus
    fixing issue #478. I actually had this changed file sitting outside of my
    git repo for a while now and didn't realize it.

    The other changes appear to be:
    - RIP support (clearing the window before/after each file is displayed)
    - read the display files a chunk at a time (rather than read the entire file
    into RAM, which could take a really long time on very large files),
    - allow files that don't exist on disk to be added to the list

    Log Message:
    We need store the file full path in the section name

    We need to support the same filename in different directories.

    The 'path' key is just an artifact and not normally used when read,
    so that was a distraction that apparently confused me previously
    and I broke this functionality in commit c44ed79a3b2c5e5.

    This should fix the issues reported by xbit (XBITBBS) on DOVE-Net.

    Also, don't open the file.ini for write-access (unnecessary).

    Log Message:
    Add edit option when adding text files that don't already exist

    Revisiting this script due to usability issues reported by W5jsn (TUCUMCAR).

    Dynamically figure out the file path rather than storing another property ('path') in the list objects (which ends up in the .ini file). The absence of the path property (when the file didn't exist) could result in script-ending exceptions.

    .ini files are supposed to be open for read/write access (even when just writing), so open the file in "w+t" mode in write_list().

    Clear console.aborted flag before menu listings: hitting Ctrl-C in some
    point could display just header and prompt of lists with no contents.

    I don't know if this is the setting to express appreciation, but this is a great fix and enhancement! Thanks!
