All,
I need help writing a command shell that will detect The column width and
if it is 40 columns then 40 column menus would be displayed and if 80 then the standard menus for 80 column whether it be .ASC or .ANS depending on what the users terminal will display.
I have no experience writing command shells and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you writing your command shell in Baja or JavaScript? I'd highly recomm
JavaScript, as it is more flexible and provides more functionality. There is
some nice documentation on Synchronet's JavaScript interface on the web here:
http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.htmldth
Using Synchronet's JavaScript object model, you can find out the terminal wi
with the screen_columns property of the console object: http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#console

I am assuming it needs to be in javascript. I do not know javascript though. I need it to detect and display the correct menu because alot of
the users that this system will be targeted do not have an 80column
display. They are old TI-99/4a users. 40 column is the max for them, but some have 80, so that's why i need both.
thanks,

cant you just have them choose which shell they want once, and it will always be displayed to them?

that may just work. I did even think of that. I will create a new one
with 40 column menus and test. thanks for the suggestion..
