    I don't think this actually achieves anything. It's like writing `x = x`. :-)

    Same here. Seems like a no-op.

    The more correct way to do this is to use `bbs.revert_text()`. And then you don't have to save the original string yourself. :-)

    Looks like you tried this method but had an issue?

    This was probably a result of a search & replace, and I forgot to remove this stuff. I had defined my own KEY_PAGE_UP and KEY_PAGE_DOWN a long time ago.

    Same as above, search & replace, and this stuff isn't actually needed anymore

    My concern was whether the sysop is using their own customized text for that string - Would bbs.revert_text() revert to the sysop's customized string, or back to the stock string?

    `bbs.revert_text()` reverts to whatever the sysop has set in your text.dat or text.ini files. It's intended to just undo whatever dynamic changes are made via Baja or JS, so it's the right thing to use in this instance.

    I've made the change to use bbs.revert_text().
