Most of the Synchronet command shells are still written in Baja. What "menus" were looking to modify via JS? You can take a look at exec/chat_sec.js as example "menu" (the Chat section), as written in JS.

Currently the only "stock" JavaScript shell is classic_shell.js... but it was written as a translation of the Baja default shell, and isn't a good example of
how to do a shell in JS.

While it should be relatively simple to modify, it's not a good basis for a completely new shell... just good if you want to change a few key bindings and update the menu files.
