    few ideas at where to start. have some experiance with
    baja, C++, and gwbasic. so I do understand some basic
    logic flow. what I would like to do is modify some of
    the synchronet menus using Javascript. what would you
    suggest a good starting point would be? need somthing

    Most of the Synchronet command shells are still written in Baja. What "menus" were looking to modify via JS? You can take a look at exec/chat_sec.js as example "menu" (the Chat section), as written in JS.

    Currently the only "stock" JavaScript shell is classic_shell.js... but it was written as a translation of the Baja default shell, and isn't a good example of
    how to do a shell in JS.

    While it should be relatively simple to modify, it's not a good basis for a completely new shell... just good if you want to change a few key bindings and update the menu files.
