Ok, understood... but still tho, the RG shell uses 4 menus in its /renegade
folder. So those 4 .ans files go there, but then sbbs runs off the Defaults
like... qwk.ans or MANY others, in the menu folder before /renegade... 


So I think the answer for ME is to copy over renegade to DEFAULT, then not use
the /renegade folder. All other command shells would use MY defaults menus, as
opposed to the other way around.

Altho, thanks, I didn't even know what you and digital man informed me of
before posting... :P I *think* I'm on the right track....

I really only wanna use MY custom renegade shell, but leaving synchro and the
others for people that want them would be a good thing. They'll just get little
bits of MY install from those extras menus that other than default command
shells fall back on..
