I see what the problem is. You could argue it's a code problem and a 
theme problem since they are both wrong.

The ChanInfo::InfoMap calls the text 'channelrecpriority' but the 
ChannelRecPriority screen sets the 'priority' text when you change 
priorities. The default theme calls it 'priority' and I assume most 
other themes just copy that and so it works on those themes. The Steppes 
theme calls it 'channelrecpriority' so it only works when the InfoMap is 
used to set it which isn't used when you change it using the arrow keys. 
Also it appears the 'channelrecpriority' text area on the Steppes theme 
isn't wide enough for negative numbers or numbers > 10. So it's all a 
bit of a mess.

I'll ask John what he wants to do. It would be easier for him just to 
fix things in the Steppes theme.
