    I would like to have my game servers (BBSlink, Doorparty) load and run right from the main "Online Program Section" instead of having to go to the next menu to make the selection, is that possible?

    Yes, you'd have to modify your command shell.

    Yes. xtrn_sec.js is just a script you can modify, so in theory, you can do whatever is possible via JS in that script.

    However, just via configuration changes, I think you can achieve what you're asking:
    - Put each game server in its *own* section in SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs.
    - set autoexec=true in the [xtrn_sec] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file
    See https://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrn_sec for details on what that does
