Where is the QWK menu defined. I'm sure I'm over looking it.

I'm customizing my menus, and would like to change the layout/colors
of the qwk menu.

Haven't been able to find the corresponding file in text/menu.

The file is (or is supposed to be) in sbbs\text\menu. I believe the software ships with a .MNU file, but I have modified that and also added .ANS and .ASC files which are also accepted.

Should be ../text/menu/qwk.msg , or maybe qwk.asc

The display file for the QWK section/menu is text/menu/qwk.msg.

I think I asked the wrong thing. I did find qwk.msg , but I've not figured out how to force it to use my new qwk.msg file.

I've created my command shell based of default.js by copying default.js to errol_.js (errol_ is internal name). I have qwk.msg in text/menu/errol_

But the only reference I see to qwk in the java script is to call
'Q': { eval: 'bbs.qwk_sec()' },

Haven't been able how to point it to qwk.msg

for main and transfer there are direct references to the files, and I could just add errol_/main and errol_/transfer but these are in const file_menu and main_menu; maybe I need to define a qwk_menu const?

still digging through the code trying to figure it out slowly.

Thanks

If you overwrite the original qwk.msg file, then that's the file that will be displayed (used).

Set bbs.menu_dir to "errol_" in your errol_.js file and your menu/errol_ directory will be used automatically, for all menu files.

for main and transfer there are direct references to the files, and I could just add errol_/main and errol_/transfer but these are in const file_menu and main_menu; maybe I need to define a qwk_menu const?

No, and you should revert the addition of "errol_" in your file paths. Just setting bbs.menu_dir once at the top of your shell script is all that should be needed.
