This can help...

But CP437 support seems to be broken on non-windows... so ymmv there, I 
usually encode my special characters in JS anyway... "\001" inside the 
string is effectively ctrl-A (as is "\x01" or "\u0001"), though I don't 
think JS in Synchronet supports the unicode escape.

You can change the auto-formatting behavior... I keep a different config 
in my sbbs directory, which is usually what I open in VS Code (remoting 
extensions are great, can edit BBS over SSH).

For Synchronet, need to keep it open all the time... though still often 
need to dig through /exec for practical examples as it's not always clear.
