Has anyone come across this?
In the doors/external programs section, for some strange reason, I have to press enter to get into the first menu entry.
Works without hitting enter from the second entry onwards though.

Do you have 10 or more programs available? If so, then hitting '1', the input function will need to wait and see if you are then going to hit '0' (for 10) or hit enter (for 1).
If you hit '2', but you have less than 20 programs, then it's smart
enough to know it doesn't need to wait for '0' or enter.

sounds like we should be doing what all good programmers do and start numbering them from zero O:-)
then we can still have two columns of five each but all will be hotkeyed ;) or maybe have leading zeros on single digit options?

it there a way we can use letters or strings instead of numbers?

exec/xtrn_sec.js is pretty easily modified. Do what you like! :-)

:) I don't think it would really matter either way. And the only reason things start at 0 for programming is due to memory locations and offsets. The first element of an array is at 0 because it's 0 away from the
(because it's at the beginning), the next one is 1 away, etc.. That makes sense from a programming point of view, but people naturally like to start numbering things starting with 1 for the 1st thing. :)

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn it off.

Synchronet supports RIP, which has mouse support.. And RIP has been around for a long time. What's this about BBS purists?

I remember rip. i also remember it never really took off like people thought it would, at least not down here. I had rip enabled on my dial up in the mid 90's.
BBS purists were not rip users.
BBS purists prefered text, not ansi, and < 1200bps.
Sound, Ansi mice, those were blasphemous!
:)
I feel like RIP may have come a little too late. I first started seeingRIP
appear around late 1993 or early 1994, and by then, the internet was just starting to get more popular. ANSI was already very common and widespread then too. I also remember seeing at least one BBS in my area that used RoboBoard, which was another GUI protocol for BBSes. I think there wasjust
one RoboBoard BBS client program though; it might not have been an open protocol like RIP was.

I remember robo board. I actually thought RIP was going to be reallycool.
I remember spending a lot of time making rip screens.
But ANSI was just so cool. the perfect mix of modern meets classic.
I want to say the stats on my board were less than 1% of people used rip.

I lacked enough skills to even be a good ANSI artist. Also, as you said,it
seemed like few users on my BBS used RIP.

I got pretty good with TheDraw for ansi screens. still use it today. My bbs's were always themed and I tried to get creative but not overkill. There are some boards out there with so much damn ansi its annoying. I come from the 300baud days where everything was text so I don't really care for color, animation, etc.
Except for door games.
