Most command shells are written in Baja, so this would be the reference manual for that Baja language and compiler:

The chat menu (section) is not a command shell, it's implemented as a loadable module, currently in JavaScript: exec/chat_sec.js
For modifying JavaScript modules, see:

To execute any JS file from a Baja, use the EXEC_BIN function. There are several examples of this in exec/default.src. In fact, this is how the chat module is execute:
    exec_bin chat_sec
