// Script starts
console.clear();
const story = argv[0];
const color = console.yesno('Do you want color?');
const save_dir = backslash(format('%s%04d-dfrotz', system.data_dir, user.number));
mkdir(save_dir);
bbs.exec(
  'dfrotz' +
  ' -h ' + console.screen_rows +
  ' -f ' + (color ? 'ansi' : 'normal') +
  ' -R ' + save_dir
);
// Script ends

That's a start anyhow; probably some more things to be added.
