   No I was a little worried it would corrupt a settings file somewhere. But I've   
   backed up everything now and this:   
      
   if(confirm("Are you using a BBC Micro Mode 7 terminal"))   
   	user.lang = "bbcmicro";   
   	user.settings &= ~USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP | USER_WIP |   
   USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8;   
   	user.settings &= ~USER_EXASCII;   
   else   
   	user.lang = "";   
      
   Gives line 16:SyntaxError (which is the else line). Else is not indented and at   
   the margin inline with IF. Indenting also give the same error. In the console   
   it displays:    
      
   logon.js line 16: SyntaxError: syntax error   
   10/18 08:44:04 term Node 1  !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in   
   exec.cpp line 644 (js_execfile) compiling "/home/ed/sbbs/exec/logon.js"   
   access=0   
      
   Desperate times = desperate measures so I used ChatGTP to help which   
   recommended the following structure:   
      
   if (confirm("Are you using a BBC Micro Mode 7 terminal")) {   
       user.lang = "bbcmicro";   
       user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP | USER_WIP |   
   USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);   
       user.settings &= ~USER_EXASCII;   
   } else {   
       user.lang = "";   
   }   
      
   This does get to displaying the question and no error message but then hangs,   
   with the console displaying:   
      
   logon.js line 15: ReferenceError: USER_EXASCII is not defined, after double   
   checking I realised it should be USER_NO_EXASCII:   
      
   if (confirm("Are you using a BBC Micro Mode 7 terminal")) {   
       user.lang = "bbcmicro";   
       user.settings &= ~(USER_AUTOTERM | USER_ANSI | USER_RIP | USER_WIP |   
   USER_HTML | USER_PETSCII | USER_UTF8);   
       user.settings &= ~USER_EXASCII;   
   } else {   
       user.lang = "";   
   }   
      
   Which worked!! So now I'm going to look at CASE (I think?) so that the user   
   will initially get:   
      
   Please select terminal type:   
   (4) 0 Column ASCII   
   Acorn Mode (7)   
   (8) 0 Column ANSI   
   Enter 4, 7 or 8:
