 An> what's the format for scores.ini?

 An> doorcode = filename?

I think that's correct.  'filename' probably needs to be a complete path to a
file.

 An> Out of curiousity, would this also display files from urls? For example,

No, that sample function will only display a file that exists on your local
filesystem.  It could be adapted though.

load('http.js'); // add this near the top of your script

function launch(code) {
  bbs.exec_xtrn(code);
  if (console.yesno('Display scores')) {
    var f = new File(system.ctrl_dir + 'scores.ini');
    f.open('r');
    var ini = f.iniGetObject();
    f.close();
    if (ini[code]) {
      console.clear(BG_BLACK|LIGHTGRAY);
      if (ini[code].search(/^http/) > -1) {
        const http = new HTTPRequest();
        const ans = http.Get(ini[code]);
        console.putmsg(ans);
      } else {
        console.printfile(ini[code]);
      }
      console.pause();
    }
  }
}

That might work. It'll assume that any value from the ini file beginning with
"http" is a URL to some file to download and display.

Would be best to wrap your calls to launch() in a try ... catch block, since
the HTTP request (or file access) might fail.

You could also put the config in ctrl/modopts.ini instead of its own file, and
use modopts.js to load settings.

 An> pull the score file from BBS Links

I did recently make a thing for displaying BBSLink scores:

It's a bit redundant to the example provided above, but it might be worth
looking at.
