I think you understand what I want.
in the aliase section I have
/away /me [Not here, back in a few hours]

If I type /away that message is sent to the channel I'm in. Or I can click on the Commands, Away, ON and this will send my message.

So now what I had hoped to do is:
If someone PM's me or uses my Nick in the channel I keep open, my computer will reply [Not here, back in a few hours] again.

Each time someone says: [Nick] are you here?
Or says to someone "Have you seen [Nick]?
My system will reply to the channel if that's where the query came from or if the query came in a private message, reply to the private message.

Sort of like those voice mails, "I'm not at my desk etc."

So far I can't seem to get any of the previous suggestion to reply if someone uses my Nick.
BTW: my nick is W9OL which is registered and the only one I use.

I sure hope this explains what I'm trying to do.

I'm sorry I'm causing so much trouble.
