       Hey kids.

       I'm trying to write a login matrix command shell in java, but I'm 
running into some stupid problems (ie. I'm stupid :) )
       javascript is new to me (I program in pascal) so I've fudged a loop to 
keep the command input going (while (1) {}).
       However, I need to be able to test for the user disconnecting so I 
don't pooch my bbs.

       What is going on is this - I display my base ansi, then have an input 
loop where the cursor keys change the current menu command.  Since the 
commands don't do anything yet, I have to disconnect my client when I'm done 
testing.  Problem is, when my client disconnects, cpu usage spikes and I 
can't shutdown the node or sbbsctrl.

       I'm guessing my crappy script is just looping in the background, 
unaware that there is no longer a client attached.  How do I fix that?

       THanks!
