So, in sbbsdefs.js, there's a SYS_RA_EMU, which I understand very little about. Looks like bitwise used with system.settings&SYS_RA_EMU, but where is this actually configured to be used?

I'm often finding myself hitting R at the message read prompt in hopes to reply, instead getting the message again and slapping myself to hit A because, Synchronet.

It looks like my sys_read_p.js mod I'm using can make use of this setting as well to handle mapping the keys, so I'm curious as to how to put it to actual use.

The "reading messages" and "reading mail" prompts check this flag and the @msgreply@ code will display the appropriate character ('A' in normal mode, 'R'
in RA-mode). Some command shells (those emulating a BBS which normally uses 'R'
for reply) set the flag. If you're writing your own message reader, then you can just hard code whatever command keys you feel most comfortable with and ignore this flag.

Okay, but how does one set this flag, preferably in JavaScript shells, so I can do that.

It looks like this will enable that flag in JavaScript:
system.settings |= SYS_RA_EMU;

Perfect! That did the trick alright! Even continues to work with sys_read_p because that little mod checks the value of that as well to determine how it passes on the key to the prompt. :)
