good news i've figured out my dclick problem that i originaly stated about dclicking on the acro in the list boxes and bringing them up into the edit boxes for editing! grin ( see code in green)
now, i have one additional problem with this that i cant figure out. i have added the edit button to well, edit an entry.. and it removes the item from the hash and replaces it (so to speak), also it adds it to the list boxes but it doesn't remove the old entry from them.... ( see code in red)

heres the code as i have it now :
Code:
on *:INPUT:*:{ if ( $left($1,1) != / ) { acro $1- } }
alias -l acro { msg $active $$getacro($1-) }
alias -l getacro {
  if (!$hget(amacros)) { return }
  var %i = 1, %r
  while ($gettok($1-,%i,32)) {
    var %j = $v1
    if ($hget(amacros,%j)) { %j = $v1 }
    %r = %r %j
    inc %i
  }
  if ($amsr(settings.ini,Acro,colorcaps) == On) { return $colorcap(%r) }
  elseif ($amsr(settings.ini,Acro,rcolorcaps) == On) { return $rcolorcap(%r) }
  else
  return %r
}
alias -l colorcap {
  var %v = 1, %u
  while $gettok($1,%v,32) != $null {
    %u = %u %ac1 $+ $upper($left($v1,1)) $+ %ac2 $+ $mid($v1,2) 
    inc %v
  }
  return %u
}
alias -l rcolorcap {
  var %v = 1, %u
  while $gettok($1,%v,32) != $null {
    %u = %u  $+ $rand(3,14) $+ $upper($left($v1,1)) $+  $+ $rand(3,14) $+ $mid($v1,2)
    inc %v
  }
  return %u
