It would be awesome if all three would be usable. The best way I can see of doing this is adding an extra field to the next level event, where 0 sends you to the next level, 1 sends you to the secret level, and 2 sends you to the bonus level. This would keep it backwards compatible.

An extra step could be to add this feature to the "secret level" event as well, because it has the nice feature of having quick level transitions, and in JJ2+ that's about all it does now anyway (not sure if this is an intentional change but whatever). Of course, the problem with this event is the default behaviour is to send you to the bonus level, so configuring it to be able to send you to all 3 wouldn't be as intuitive (0 would have to be the bonus level, 1 the secret level, and 2 the regular level, or something like that).
I should probably implement something since I'm undoing the secret level changes I made earlier. It wouldn't be hard to have the EOL events use a help string for the filename. I can also add a bit for fast level cycling. Also, I'm in favor of using the bonus level field as the level you go to after getting a game over. It would just require something like a '|' before the filename for backwards compatibility.
