Greetings to each,

I wrote a news socketbot which pulls up headlines in 8 different categorys, stores those into a centralized text file and then automatically randomly posts those to each of our 5 chatrooms thru our mIRC scripts. Chatroom users can also pull up each of those entire 8 selective news categorys thru a whispered reply to them.

What I need help on is pulling that information from the centralized text file into a local window @new

I've tried the -play command to spool that data to that window without success and would appreciate your help and consideration.

Here is one of my attempts which failed:

alias newstest {
window @news
.play -m1tBreaking @news C:\1Report/Newsreader.txt 1000
}

I don't wish to flood out our chatrooms, nor send that to myself as a whisper. Is there a way to simply echo the -play file?
