No problem. The "default" shell is actually exec/default.bin (written in Baja, 
the source of which is default.src).

You can section with the label ":e-mail" in this file.

You can add a "cmdkey L" command block (end with "end_cmd") or add it into the 
"cmdkey N" block if you prefer.

To execute a configured door (SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs), use 

        EXEC_XTRN "intcode"

where "intcode" is the internal code of the program you have configured in 
SCFG. For detalis, see http://synchro.net/docs/baja.html

If you prefer to work in JavaScript, you could use classic_shell.js or another 
shell written in JS, but how to modify the menu and launch an external is 
slightly different.
