   If you want to modify default.js to do this, it looks to me like you'd want to   
   add a new menu object, similar to how main_menu, file_menu, etc. are   
   structured (look for "const main_menu" and "const file_menu").  You'd probably   
   want to make another menu object similar to those, maybe called msg_menu.    
   Then in your command to change sub-boards (which you said you changed from J   
   to M?), I think you could modify that in default.js to change the menu, like   
   this:   
      
   M': { eval: 'shell.select_msg_area()'; menu = msg_menu },   
      
   That would assume the new menu object you made is called msg_menu.
