I've jumped in with both feet and have started writing my own command shell. Itãhas gone well so far.

Thanks.ããI'm sort of surprised, but I cannot find a way to do this in Baja. There's no ãcommand-line (%) specifier for the current sub-board internal code nor any Baja ã"system variable" for that string.ããThis is rather trivial in JavaScript however (bbs.cursub_code is a string which ãcontains the current sub-board's internal code), so perhaps you could just ãwrite a small JavaScript to display this file and exec that script form your ãBaja script.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #77:ãSynchronet Match Maker had at one time over 4000 profiles of men and women.ãNorco, CA WX: 66.9øF, 52.0% humidity, 5 mph SE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

That would come inãhandy. I'll try the javascript idea. I've meant to brush up on it anyways. ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!ã
