Would be a good idea to use that 1 free key that is left for an extra menu,
yes.  :-)

I tried this.  The problem is that all files are created with mode "600"
and this trick of using "s"-bits on directories only works for the group
of the created files, not for the owner, so they still can't be read or
modified by anyone but the user running Asterisk, which is almost always root.
The files and directories would need to be created with R/W for
the group to make this trick work.
