frotz needs a folder for saves. I wonder if I could put all the saves in one
folder. Gotta check what frotz uses for save filenames. If the filename
contains a story marker then I could probably use:

const story = format('stories/%s', argv[0]);
const save_dir = backslash(format('%sif/saves/%s', system.data_dir,
user.number));

That'd dump all saves for one user in /sbbs/data/if/saves/(user.number)/

Next question how do I take a const from 1-4 and pass 4 different results based
on the number?

Basically
> const colors = console.getnum(4, 1);

then pass different strings based on the answer like..

> bbs.exec(
>         'frotz ' +
>         '-h ' + console.screen_rows +
>         '-w ' + console.screen_columns +
>         '-f ' + (colors ? 'green' : 'white' : 'white' : 'yellow') + // <---
> these bits here
>         '-b ' + (colors ? 'black' : 'black' : 'blue' : 'black') +
>         '-R ' + save_dir +
>         story
> );

Final final... why doesn't the background on this line switch to blue? Ctrl-A
"4" should be blue background.

> console.putmsg(" 3.\1h\14 White on Blue\1n");
