Before I forget, DNSB... Thank you for being such a leader in this community. Your help fielding all of my questions on this forum has been invaluable.

I think I am fundamentally misunderstanding how these buttons work in NickelMenu... Is each button not a "toggle switch" in that you tap it once to turn a feature "on" and then tap it again to turn a feature "off" if a feature has persisting function (like telnet and FTP)?

By your explanation, it seems that a button works basically to simply "enable" telnet or FTP server on the Kobo device. But these "services" will remain on with no way to disable them as long as the device is powered. The only way to "turn them off" is to shutdown or reboot the device. As such, I should add a "shutdown and reboot" button in NickelMenu to do this, correct?

I know for programs, a button acts basically like a shortcut to launch a program.
