Subj : .js command shells

      Hey kids.

      I'm trying to write a login matrix command shell in java, but I'm
running into some stupid problems (ie. I'm stupid :) )
      javascript is new to me (I program in pascal) so I've fudged a loop to
keep the command input going (while (1) {}).
      However, I need to be able to test for the user disconnecting so I
don't pooch my bbs.

      What is going on is this - I display my base ansi, then have an input
loop where the cursor keys change the current menu command.  Since the
commands don't do anything yet, I have to disconnect my client when I'm done
testing.  Problem is, when my client disconnects, cpu usage spikes and I
can't shutdown the node or sbbsctrl.

      I'm guessing my crappy script is just looping in the background,
unaware that there is no longer a client attached.  How do I fix that?

      THanks!
