   Take a look at the other shells available which have a separate "Message Menu"   
   (e.g. the Renegade shell), that might be more similar to what you want to do   
   than default.js. Now those other shells are all currently written in Baja (not   
   JS), but are on the list to be converted to JS.   
      
   Others have taken default.js and split it into 3 menus, perhaps they'll chime   
   in and offer up their code for you to copy or learn from.
