This is a potential infinite loop, don't do that.

I see that now. I will fix it.

This appears to cause the menus to always be displayed at least once, and just once to expert menu-mode users. Is this actually how Wildcat! works?

I did test it. I am going to retest it using Baja and the Javascript version. I will try and look at it today.

This appears to cause the menus to always be displayed at least once,
and just once to expert menu-mode users. Is this actually how
Wildcat! works?

wildcat! users in expert mode see the menu once and then after that just a short list of commands in the prompt.

Okay, apparently that is how the Baja version works because it was mimicking how Wildcat! works. I forgot.

In a previous review of this shell, I noted that the main menu was always displayed, at least once, even for expert mode users. After double-checking the Baja version of this shell, I confirmed that was normal/expected. Is that feature still present in this shell?

I am on it. I will double check later today but I think everything works like original.

I checked it this way. It went into the default shell and made sure the expert was on, and in Baja the menu isn't displayed in expert until you hit the ? Key. This does the same thing.

For the default shell, yes, that's true. That's not true for the Wildcat! shell (since apparently that is how Wildcat! works/worked).

I checked with the Baja version and told my user that Shell made sure expert mode was on. It doesn't show a menu, at least with my version of Synchronet. Could it have changed somehow? Unless I read the Baja wrong, some are false and others are true, I will check that.

Baja doesn't show menu in expert at least with mine. I wonder if something is wrong with my version.

It don't do that on my end. Baja Expert mode no menu just shows prompt. Can you confirm this? If not, I will delete my Synchronet and reinstall it.

In expert mode, the Baja Wildcat! shells shows the menu one time (and one time only) without hitting '?'. See baja.src for details.

Looking again at baja.src, I don't see what I'm describing: in expert menu mode, the menus are *only* displayed when the user hits '?'.
