Depends on your definition of a "guru."  I'll try... ;-)

This is normal; the buttons on the sheet will move when you move the sheet.
You could kludge a way around this, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes, this is a feature.  You can add menus through any script though; I'm
suprised  you could only do it through startup.scz.  However, that's the
only way to get the menus added each and every time you start Wingz, short
of modifying WZScript.  (Modifyijng that script, BTW, isn't recommended,
nor is it supported.)

Any keys already defined will appear in the menus.   Defining Alt keys
could be a problem, though.  It would depend on how the terminal handles
the Alt keys.

Good luck, and have fun!
