I assume there's a way to directly run a BBS door from a menu? (i.e. a command shell)

If so, how would I go about doing so?

Reason I want to do it: I want to run the EZ-ROM door from the Files menu, so users call call up the EZ-ROM from that menu and not necessarily the door/online system menu.

I assume I set up the door the normal way in SCFG, but invoke it from a command shell.

Thanks!

bbs.exec_xtrn(xtrn_number_or_code) ;Execute external program by
number or internal code.

That's sort of what I thought. Is that Javascript or Baja code?

you've been running synchronet 20 years and you cant tell?
