"XFER" in this context means "file transfer". Probably not what you want.
The possible values for the node_action can be found in load/nodedefs.js.
For a "message menu", you'd probably want to use NODE_RMSG (reading messages).

It's not. I suspect you might've create that property yourself via search/replace maybe? The built-in command counters are bbs.main_cmds and bbs.xfer_cmds and their used for special actions that only occur before/during/after a specific number of user commands have been entered. It's not a common use case. If you want to create and increment bbs.message_cmds in your script, that's fine. No harm.
