msec is a matrix, like a s/s...  the problem is that only one column
(level) is active at a time...  moving from one level to another is like
moving between columns...  only way to "shift cells" on a per row basis is
to write Python code...  

Look at it another way...  imagine a webmin page with N columns (5
initially) and M rows (one per msec rule)...  some rules can be handled by
selecting a level with a radio button; others might use an option list. 
Others might need text input...  whatever...  the idea is that each row
(function/rule) can individually be customized, rather than the present
"throw the master switch to position N" we have now...
