  • Running a BBS door directly from a menu (command shell)

    From Diamond Dave@1:103/705 to All on Sat Oct 18 18:20:58 2025
    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!

    exec_xtrn (code)

    if using baja command shell
