Ryan mentioned using named pipes and was prompted to start work on the

edit console messages. I hate fat-fingering messages and not being

and all of the settings are built into the program itself at this

via configuration files so the program code won't need to be adjusted,
however I have been more focused on getting the whole thing to actually work
