Now to answer your original question, if you're currently using default.src, I do believe there's a default.js that you can just switch to now. Should be in the repo:
Then, rather than trying to completely learn javascript in order to do anything with Synchronet like some say to do, just look at some of the stock .js files, and if interested, copy one to your mods directory. Then, slowly tinker with it with easy things like bbs.menu("ansi_name_here"); to display an ansi or console.pause(); to add a pause prompt, etc. The Synchronet Javascript Object Reference page will tell you just about anything and everything you can use.
If you mess anything up, you can simply remove the one from your mods directory, or copy the original from the exec directory to your mods directory again (overwriting whatever you broke) and start over.
I'm still not even close to being mediocre at javascript by any means, but I can do what I need to do to make the BBS look the way I want it to.
Regards,
Nick
