    From rswindell@VERT to CVS commit on Tue Aug 14 16:03:00 2018
    exec xtrn_sec.js 1.18 1.19
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv2475

    Modified Files:
    xtrn_sec.js
    Log Message:
    Fix problem reported by Nelgin:
    In External programs after running Sycnrhonet BBS List you get
    "Returning to <BBS> - hit a key". If you presss Q you get a blank external
    menu menu rather than the full menu.
    The main problem was the line counter, so clearing after returning from executing an external program (unless the forced pause thing is on).

    For DaiTengu:
    Added support for optional modopts.ini [xtrn_sec] keys:
    - eval_before_exec
    - eval_after_exec
    These may be set to JavaScript expressions to be evaluated (executed)
    before and/or after any program is executed from this module.
    Also fixed a bug where a door-custom font may not be loaded if the door
    was the only one available in a section.

    Log Message:
    Refactor commit b63b3bb3a85 (customizable xtrn program section menu)

    Use the text.dat strings that corresponded with the previous behavior
    (used by console.uselect()). The defaults include new-lines, so removed
    some hard-coded console.crlf() calls that were added. If you have a
    custom section_header_fmt, you'll likely need to add a \r\n to it.

    Allow the "External Program Section" title string to be customized
    (separately from section_header_fmt, e.g. for localization).

    Save/use the current section.

    Mouse-enable the program section list.

    Add a carriage-return to the mouse hotspot value when needed

    For program listings, if the program number is fewer digits than the total program list count (number of digits), then a carriage return is required
    to launch that program. Automate this for the mouse hotspot value, so clicking Program #1 in a list of 10+ will just run that program and not require the
    user to hit the Enter key.

    Log Message:
    Don't treat Enter as choosing default section when no prompt was shown

    As pointed out via DOVE-Net by DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA):
    When xtrn_sec.* display file/menu is used, there's no auto-generated
    prompt (with a default section number indicated). So hitting Enter
    in this case and having the previous/default program section selected
    would be surprising behavior to a user. So, only support a default
    section selection when there was no xtrn_sec.* menu/display file.
