All,ããI need help writing a command shell that will detect The column width and if it is 40 columnsãthen 40 column menus would be displayed and if 80 then the standard menus for 80 column whether ãit be .ASC or .ANS depending on what the users terminal will display.ããI have no experience writing command shells and any help would be greatly appreciated.ããChrisãhoustonguitarpro@att.netãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I'd highly recommendãJavaScript, as it is more flexible and provides more functionality. There isãsome nice documentation on Synchronet's JavaScript interface on the web here:ãhttp://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.htmlãUsing Synchronet's JavaScript object model, you can find out the terminal widthãwith the screen_columns property of the console object:ãhttp://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#consoleããNightfoxããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã
