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...
