 +**Note**:\\ 
 +The //Programmable Command and Menu Structure// implementation (basically, the compiled ''.bin'' file interpreter) in the Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server is unlikely to be enhanced in the future. Synchronet's programability and extensibility is primarily through [[custom:JavaScript]] modules and services and future script development should be focused there.

 +Baja source files are normally stored in the Synchronet ''[[dir:exec]]'' directory. 
 + 
 +==== Includes ==== 
 + 
 +Baja source files may include other source files (usually named ''*.inc'') using the Baja ''!include'' directive. Included files are normally stored in the same directory as the ''*.src'' files but you can direct the Baja compiler to look in a different directory for included files by either defining the ''BAJAINCLUDE'' [[config:env|environment variable]] or by using the '-i' command-line option. 
 + 
 +By forcing the Baja compiler to look in a different directory (e.g. ''sbbs/[[dir:exec]]'') for ''!include''d files, you could, for example, compile ''.src'' files in your ''[[dir:mods]]'' directory which still ''!include'' files from the ''[[dir:exec]]'' directory.
