I should've clarified, I wanted to hide the /who info heh. Sorry about that, I know it requires it just wanted to make it "invisible" as it were.

I think the best echo flags are:
echo -lmt # < $+ $ShortPnick(#,$nick) $+ > $1-
just to expand on that little bit.

Either way: thank you very much Hitchhiker, that's very grand of you.
