    Line 6941 is
    case "^Z":
    Try to comment it out and see if it works. If so then it's probably
    picking up ^Z as end of file or something. Winderz?

    I get the following:

    !JavaScript fido-nodelist-browser.js line 6941: SyntaxError: unterminated string
    literal

    !ERROR compiling d:\sbbs\EXEC\fido-nodelist-browser.js

    Do you have the latest version of fido-nodelist-browser.js?

    I'm checking the file in the Synchronet Git repo:

    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/exec/fido-nodelist-browser.j s?ref_type=heads

    Line 6941 is this:

    case " ":

    I don't see anything wrong with that line..

    case "SUB":

    Quick update: downgraded to the version on 3.19 and it works. That said, more than happy to test w/ my current ver or anyothers.

    I see the problem. In the current version of that file (I'm not sure about older versions), many of those case statements in/around line 6941 are literal control characters embedded in a string. Windows and DOS treat the Ctrl-Z (SUB) character as EOF (holdover from CP/M days), so Nelgin's likely right.

    Even though your viewer/editor might show case "SUB" or case "^Z" it's actually a literal control character in the file and that's not kosher JS.
