    Quick question,

    I am adding new functions to a menu. Where do I add that menu letter (ie "1") at the top of default.src so that it knows its a valid choice?

    I know how to add the command arguments, etc.

    Thanks,

    "1" would be a bad choice for a new command key in the default command shell, as numbers are used to change the current message and file area ('1' takes you to sub-board #1 in the current msesage group).

    But to answer you question: anywhere you like, the order does not matter. Alphabetical is nice for finding a command later in the .src file, but it's not actually important. Just find the menu section you're interested in adding a command too, then add a new cmdkey block.

    You have to find where that specific menu is defined (ie: main, file, message, etc) in default.src, and add the "cmdkey 'X'" somewhere in the midst of where all the other options are.

    thanks, I thought that was all that was needed. I understand why 1 isnt a good choice. Thanks.
