The fact that the /timer -p command doesn't work as most would expect, ie: stopping the timer until the /timer -r command is used, has been reported before, and a while back. Since there's been at least 2 releases of mIRC since it was reported, I'm going to presume that Khaled is having difficulty figuring out how to amend the timer process.

Unfortunately, I can't think of a better solution than your poormans-solution

Personally, I'd like to see a pause option added to the $timer identifier that returns $true if the timer is paused or $false if it isn't.
