The "default" shell is actually exec/default.bin (written in Baja, �the source of which is default.src).��You can section with the label ":e-mail" in this file.��You can add a "cmdkey L" command block (end with "end_cmd") or add it into the �"cmdkey N" block if you prefer.��To execute a configured door (SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs), use �� EXEC_XTRN "intcode"��where "intcode" is the internal code of the program you have configured in �SCFG. For detalis, see http://synchro.net/docs/baja.html��If you prefer to work in JavaScript, you could use classic_shell.js or another �shell written in JS, but how to modify the menu and launch an external is �slightly different.�� digital man��Synchronet "Real Fact" #29:�The COM I/O routines for Synchronet for DOS were written in ASM by Steve Deppe.�Norco, CA WX: 63.7�F, 53.0% humidity, 9 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs�---� � Synchronet � Vertrauen � Home of Synchronet � [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net�

In text/menu, there's a
main.asc file. I think PabloDraw supports editing ASC files directly, so fire up PB and load main.asc and fix up the menu to include the new 'L' command.��---�http://DuckDuckGo.com/ a better search engine that respects your privacy.� � Synchronet � My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)�
