I'm not sure about that..  I don't think I'd want too many things split into their own .js for the command shell.  I like having just one main script for my command shell where everything is there.  I consider the file transfer menu a fairly significant component that I'd like to keep within the command shell and not have a separate script for that.  Also, since a command shell is meant to be customized for your wants & needs, I don't think there is a real need to have a standardized file transfer section.  For instance, I want it to display my own ANSI menu file (which fits in with the overall theme of my other ANSI menu files), and I might want to have some additional commands on my file menu that other command shells might not have.
