My example would've resulted in something like:

 /sbbs/data/0001-dfrotz/

Maybe you want something like:

 const save_dir = backslash(format('%s/if/%s/%d', system.data_dir, story, user.number);

Looks like I forgot to tell dfrotz which story file to use, so the bbs.exec statement should be more like:

 bbs.exec(
  'dfrotz' +
  '-h ' + console.screen_rows +
  '-f ' + (color ? 'ansi' : 'normal') +
  '-R ' + save_dir +
  story
 );
