Okay, here's the getcmd line, and the lines surrounding the area I'm talking about. I don't want to paste the entire thing here ... but, well, if you guys want me to, I can.

-+-

# chat_sec.src

# Chat Section for any/all Synchronet command shells

# Requires v3.00g or later

!include sbbsdefs.inc

compare_ars rest C
if_true
print "\r\nYou can't chat.\r\n"
return
end_if

# Set return point for main menu commands (via end_cmd)
cmd_home

# Display TEXT\MENU\CHAT.* if not in expert mode
compare_user_misc UM_EXPERT
if_false
menu_chat
end_if

# Update node status
node_action node_chat
async
print "\r\n\1_\1y\1hChat: \1n"
getcmd "ACDFIJPQSTU?\r"
cmdkey 'S'
TOGGLE_USER_CHAT CHAT_SPLITP
printf "\1n\r\nPrivate split-screen chat is now: \1h"
COMPARE_USER_CHAT CHAT_SPLITP
if_true
print "ON\1n"
else
print "OFF\1n"
end_if
crlf
end_cmd

cmdkey 'A'
crlf
toggle_user_chat CHAT_NOACT
toggle_node_misc NODE_AOFF
nodelist_users
end_cmd

(and so on and so forth until we reach close to the things I changed)

cmdkey 'T'
page_guru
end_cmd

cmdkey 'U'
exec_xtern "syncreg" (this has also been exec_xtern syncreg)
end_cmd ( and SYNCREG ... no change)

cmdkey '?'
compare_user_misc UM_EXPERT
if_true
menu "chat"
end_if
end_cmd

cmdpop

return

----

Well, that should be enough. I'm recompiling it each time after I've changed it, and it doesn't give me any sort of errors or anything. Just compiles all nice and happy, and then doesn't work. Thanks! :)

exec_xtern "syncreg" (this has also been exec_xtern syncreg)

The command I use here is exec_xtrn (not xtErn)

That could be the problem ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It should give you a complier error since "exec_xtrn" is mispelled.

Hahahaha! Sorry, that was funny. :) But anyway, no, it is NOT misspelled within the file. I had a followup message to Merlin that stated that. The actual source file does say exec_xtrn syncreg, and there are no compiler errors whatsoever when I recompile it.

So you have tried adding print statements or anything to help debug the problem?

Yep, it still doesn't do anything. I can hit U (the key I'm trying to setup as a cmdkey) all day long... absolutely nothing, no response. And as I said before, it is listed in the getcmd list, and there are no errors when compiling.

:) Yes, I did recompile. I'm not quite sure what it is. When I get a chance I'm going to send the source into DM and see if he can figure it out. But, haven't had the time yet to do it. Then, if it works for him, I'll just accept the fact that Baja hates me :)

Then it sounds like CHAT_SEC.BIN isn't being executed at all. Have you tried executing it with the ;EXEC sysop command?

Whoa! If I execute it with the SysOp commands (chat_sec.bin), I can run the user registry option! Now, why in the world would it do that? I can go to the chat menu and all, and get into multinode chat and all that jazz. But the User registry option I've added doesn't work from there. But it DID work when I executed the chat_sec.bin module manually!

sounds like your shell is running the old internal chat menu, instead of
exec *chat_sec

Which command shell are you using? It sounds like you're not using the version that came with the v3.10 beta which includes the following change:
from:
chat_section
to:
exec_bin chat_sec

Re: Chat_sec.src

Okay, now the mystery has been solved. I'm using a modified version of the Renegade shell (I changed the menus, some of the commands, etc.,) because I didn't really like the all-in-one approach to the classic menus. Well, for some reason, the Renegade shell still points to chat_section, rather than the exec_bin chat_sec that the classic has. So *that* was the problem ... the cmdkey was going in just fine, but since I couldn't load up that module, it didn't ever get a chance to actually do anything with it. :) Thanks for your help, and everyone else's help too :)
