Ok, I have my shell completely in .js, and most everything is going as planned.
There is one peculiar issue, though...

When I try to list files, I use the following command:

bbs.menu.baja("setstr *.*" + "\r\n" + "file_list");

This expression makes not sense to me. bbs.menu() is a method for displaying a menu file (e.g. a Ctrl-A or ANSI file).

The bbs tries to run baja /sbbs/exec/temp_1.src, and then launch that file.

I have no temp_1.src. I am running 3.15 as of today, and this file is nowhere to be found. Ideas? :)

No, I'm not clear on what you're trying to do.

To list files, try using this command instead:
bbs.list_files();

Yeah, I suppose I could take a look at that ;) However, I got it to work. The issue was that windows 7 has ridiculous issues with letting programs launch other programs. As such, it wasn't allowing synchronet to launch baja.exe. On WinXP, it works just fine.

But it's ridiculous to launch baja.exe everytime a user wants to list files. Don't do that!

Ah, interesting. Good to know you got it to work.

By the way, your bbs.menu.baja command interested me, because I've also converted my command shell to JavaScript, but there was still one thing I had to keep in Baja: Letting the user configure their file scan pointer.
The reason is that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent JavaScript function for that.

Use bbs.get_newscantime(), like so:

bbs.new_file_time = bbs.get_newscantime(bbs.new_file_time);
