    To convert default.src from Baja to JavaScript for Synchronet BBS, you would need to follow these steps:

    1. Install the necessary software: You will need to have Node.js and a code editor installed on your computer.

    2. Create a new directory: Create a new directory where you will store your JavaScript files.

    3. Copy default.src to the new directory: Copy default.src from the Synchronet BBS installation directory to the new directory you created.

    4. Rename default.src to default.js: Rename default.src to default.js so that it is recognized as a JavaScript file.

    5. Update the code: Open default.js in a code editor and modify the code to be compatible with JavaScript. Use the Baja to JavaScript conversion guide provided by Synchronet to help you with this step.

    6. Save and test the code: Save your changes and then test the updated default.js file to make sure it works as expected.

    7. Repeat for other scripts: Repeat these steps for any other Baja scripts you want to convert to JavaScript.

    It is also important to note that not all Baja functions have JavaScript equivalents, so you may need to implement custom logic or use external libraries to achieve the same functionality.

    1. Install the necessary software: You will need to have Node.js and a code editor installed on your computer.

    Synchronet does not use Node.js, since Synchronet uses its own embedded JavaScript engine.

    You are correct, I apologize for the confusion. Here are the updated steps for converting default.src from Baja to JavaScript using Synchronet's embedded JavaScript engine:

    1. Create a new directory: Create a new directory where you will store your JavaScript files.

    2. Copy default.src to the new directory: Copy default.src from the Synchronet BBS installation directory to the new directory you created.

    3. Rename default.src to default.js: Rename default.src to default.js so that it is recognized as a JavaScript file.

    4. Update the code: Open default.js in a code editor and modify the code to be compatible with Synchronet's embedded JavaScript engine. Use the Baja to JavaScript conversion guide provided by Synchronet to help you with this step.

    5. Save and test the code: Save your changes and then test the updated default.js file to make sure it works as expected.

    6. Repeat for other scripts: Repeat these steps for any other Baja scripts you want to convert to JavaScript.

    As with the previous steps, it is important to note that not all Baja functions have equivalents in Synchronet's embedded JavaScript engine, so you may need to implement custom logic or use external libraries to achieve the same functionality.
