If you can make the source available then I could take a look or
possibly rewrite it in JS.

Do you have the Baja .src file? Can you try recompiling to .bin using Baja? If so, and it still doesn't seem to work right, you could add print or log statements to help debug if/how-far the script is actually running.
That's true, but did my reply not answer his question?
I had mentioned that I converted my Baja shell to JS, and GamgeeEven if he did write or modify his own baja shell, the answer to "How does a non-JS-programmer accomplish this (switching from baja to js shells)" is simply to replace default.src/bin with default.js. Done deal.
asked "How does a non-JS-programmer accomplish this?" I don't know if
he's using default.src (he didn't say he was), but the way he asked
that, I answered thinking that he may have written his own custom
Baja shell.
I'm using a somewhat customized shell, where I edited the default.src to change/remove a few things.
Great idea, yes. I of course didn't know "baja source" either, but was able to adjust things just based on exactly what you're describing here.
Perfect, and thanks for the boot to wake me up. Not sure why I didn't think of that myself, as it's exactly what I did with the default baja. Appreciate it!

You can do the exact same thing with JS. The only difference is that you'll forget to put ()'s and ";" characters where they're needed. But
no worries, it will tell you the first time you run it that your code
is bad. :)
I've got a modified 'default.js' shell just about done, and hope to find time tomorrow to test it. Easier than I expected, actually.

I think/hope it's easier than modifying default.src! :-)
That's true, but did my reply not answer his question?
I'm fairly certain his question was simply how to switch from a baja shell to a .js one. It seemed like he was unaware that there was a 'default.js' available to switch to. So not really.

Sometimes you just gotta dive right in, scratch your head for awhile.. then bang it on your desk a few times. Eventually, you'll get it
working. :)
