I only seem to have the standard shell with it. which is fine, so long as i can work out how to add/remove menu options, and change the keys for them. Trouble is i cant find a menu editor, let alone the files that hold the menus!!! I am also trying to work out how to add a baja scripts to the system. i have one for new users that sends them a confirmation email that i would like to insert into the bbs. I have worked out how to change the appearance of the menus, but not the functions and keys on them. Can you give me some pointers? Like which files to edit, and what to edit them with. I need help changeing the menus. i think i have worked out how to change the .asc files. but that does not change the options avaliable on the menus or what letters are assigned to them. -- EnjoyDialup - You know you want to... mail=valid required when replying .
