Hey there!ããI'm working on converting my command shell from Baja to JavaScript and I'mãrunning into a few bugs that I can't figure out. I'm running the command shellãto test it, so if I make any changes I have to switch to another command shellãand then back to the one I'm testing .. no problem, I've done that when I'veãdone my last few shells. HOWEVER, the problem I'm seeing is that when I switchãfrom my new shell to one of the others it the one I switch to appears in myãdefaults and if I use 'console.putmsg(user.command_shell) it says my currentãshell is the one I switched to but the BBS is still using my new one. Theãcommands are all the new shell.ããIn fact, my new shell uses user.command_shell in the paths to the menus andãit'll say c:\sbbs\text\menu\*oldshell*\main.asc is not found for some items... ããI figure it has to be something about the way I'm calling the defaults menu...ãHonestly I know just enought JavaScript to be dangerous. :) Here is myã'systemMenu' function.... any suggestions?ãããfunction systemMenu() {ã while (bbs.online) {ã bbs.node_action = 'NODE_DFLT';ã console.clear();ã bbs.menu(user.command_shell + '/system');ã console.putmsg(' \1h\1m ' + user.alias + '\1k@\1bSystem Menu\1w:\1n\1wã');ãã var key = console.getkey(K_NOECHO).toUpperCase();ã bbs.log_key(key);ã switch (key) {ã //options and commands to performã case 'S':ã console.clear();ã bbs.sys_info();ã break;ã case 'U':ã console.clear();ã bbs.list_users();ã console.line_counter = 1;ã break;ã case 'W':ã bbs.menu(user.command_shell + '/nodeltop');ã break;ã case 'L':ã showLastCallers(10);ã break;ã case 'D':ã bbs.user_config();ã break;ã // for /Dã case '/':ã console.putmsg('/');ã slashMenu(console.getkey().toUpperCase());ã break;ã case ':':ã console.putmsg(':');ã colonMenu(console.getstr('', 4).toUpperCase());ã break;ã case 'Y':ã console.clear();ã bbs.user_info();ã break;ã case 'I':ã console.clear();ã bbs.ver();ã break;ã case 'M':ã console.clear();ã bbs.sub_info();ã break;ã case 'Q':ã mainMenu();ã return;ã default:ã return;ã } // end switchã } // while onlineã //hangUp();ã} // end systemããããAny help would be much appreciated!ãã|01-|03nolageekãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Capitol Shrill BBS - Washington, DC - capitolshrill.comã
