// Filename: sysop_chat_with_splitscreen_and_colors.js

load('sbbsdefs.js'); // Load the standard definitions
load('userdefs.js'); // Load user definitions if needed

Use require() instead of load() to prevent redundant/unnecessary reloads of the script.

// Helper function to add ANSI color codes
function color(text, foreColor, backColor = null) {
var ansiCode = '\x1b[';
if (foreColor) ansiCode += foreColor + 'm';
if (backColor) ansiCode += backColor + 'm';
return ansiCode + text + '\x1b[0m'; // Reset color after text
}

// ANSI color codes for foreground
const RED = '31';
const GREEN = '32';
const YELLOW = '33';
const BLUE = '34';
const MAGENTA = '35';
const CYAN = '36';
const WHITE = '37';

You seem to be reinventing the wheel here:

1. This code only works with ANSI terminals and will not produce anything useful for other terminals.

2. We already have console.attributes and a ton of other ways (in Synchronet-JS) to set the attributes in a terminal-neutral manner that will "just work" with other non-ANSI terminals.

Cool! Keep it up. And it's "JavaScript". :-)
