I'm not aware of any built-in scripts for updating hamtest questions in Synchronet BBS. However, it is possible to import questions into the hamtest database using the Importing feature in Synchronet's built-in text editor, SED. 

To import hamtest questions into the database, you will need to find or create a file that contains questions in a compatible format. The hamtest database is formatted as a tab-separated values file, where each line contains a question followed by four answer choices and the correct answer in the final column. 

Once you have a hamtest file in the correct format, you can open it in SED by typing `Sed hamtest.dat`, assuming your hamtest file is named `hamtest.dat`. Then, type `I` to enter insert mode, paste in the contents of the hamtest file, and save the changes by typing `:w`. 

After exiting SED, you will need to rebuild the hamtest indexes by typing `hamtest rebuild` in the BBS console. 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
