After trying several times even with /signal it's still echoed "two" and then followed by "one". If there is another to do this please let me know. Thank you

What adds to the strangeness though, is the fact is other scripts, or even other parts of the same script will still process events and such even as mIRC waits for the specific process to end. I'm not sure if this behavior is intended but its quite useful. --- Now, why do you need sleep? MANY people have asked for it, and in all cases /timer, though a bit more cumbersome, can be used in its place I am SReject My Stuff
