Trying to modify the wildcat clone menu to call a Javascript module.

cmdkey N
exec_xtrn "NEWS"
pause
end_cmd


News is the external name for the news.js module

Is this the correct way to make the call, or can
baja not call java script ? Maybe I need to call jsexec and filename?

That's one way to do it. I'm assuming what you're saying is you have news.js set up in External Programs and NEWS is its internal code?

Another way would be to run news.js directly from your Baja, like this:

exec "?news.js"

Also, you can refer to the Baja documentation to see what all you can do with Baja:

Looks correct to me. Why, is it not working?

You can also manually execute a JavaScript module with the "EXEC" sysop command (e.g. type ";exec ?news" from the main menu of the default command shell) - assuming news.js is in your exec or mods directory.

Sent before I edited. Got it working with Nightfox's suggestion of using exec and ? but had to give relative path ../mods/News-main/news.js

Thanks for the assistance (DM/Nightfox)
