Today I finally upgraded my system to the latest SBBS using Git... Things went very well, but I do have one issue I can't figure out.
I'm using your DDMsg and DDFile Area Choosers, I have them in /sbbs/mods (both the .js and the .cfg). I've edited my 'default.src' and compiled it into 'default.bin', also in /sbbs/mods. It all works except for this:
For my 'J' command key definition, I've defined it as:
exec "?DDMsgAreaChooser.js" as per the instructions. It works fine.
Also defined the '/*' key the exact same way and it works.
For my '*' key, I don't want the user to see the list of message groups first, just the areas in the current group, so I have defined that one as:
Any ideas? Anybody else seeing this? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm running a fairly recent build (September 28), and I haven't
seen any issues with it. Not sure..
Okay, I've done some further testing, and have found that the
prior version I was using (dated 2019-08-24 ver 1.19) works fine.
Without changing anything else, if I drop in the newest DDMsg and
DDFile (.js and .cfg), it does not work with the "false" command
line parameter added. Same default.src/.bin with both.
So it seems that something is not liking the word "false" with the
latest version that comes with Git... Thanks.

When you say "drop in the newest" ones, do you mean you were
using older ones? What versions worked, and which don't? If you
open one of the .js files, near the top, it has a variable that
stores which version it is. For instance, the message area
chooser has this (for version 1.20):
var DD_MSG_AREA_CHOOSER_VERSION = "1.20";
var DD_MSG_AREA_CHOOSER_VER_DATE = "2020-04-19";
I haven't updated them since before the switch to Git, and the
latest I've committed was 1.20. So there should be no difference
between the latest from CVS and the latest from Git. So if
there's some behavioral difference, I'm not sure if Git itself
would have anything to do with that - Different line endings, a
different text encoding, etc..
When I say "does not work", let me clarify... It works *except*
when you try to pass the command line parameter "false". I'm
doing that in a modified command shell, like this:
cmdkey *
exec "?DDMsgAreaChooser.js false"
end_cmd

You're right, I tested it just now and it doesn't seem to work.
I actually haven't used that feature of my own chooser in a
while.. I'll have to have a look and see if I can fix it.
