//idlemsg would be the correct syntax in your script


The code in his alias is already being evaluated there is no need for a second /.

Code:
alias /idlemsg {   
  set %myidlezz $$input(Enter In Idle Message,129) 
  echo -a Idle Msg Set To: %myidlezz  
  idlemsg on idlealias  
  set %idlemsg on
}


Works fine for me.

The above for me works with "/idlemsg" and "//////////////////////idlemsg"
