Yes, I completely Understand as I stated many times that using the while loop is not efficient and understand how it freezes up mIRC and waste resources ect ect... But what was in question was why the cmd box freezes with the command in the first post... I now think I got it narrowed down to something to do with mirc trying to read the clipboard the same time the clip command is trying to write to it (Thanx to starbucks) so What you assumed is the same as the others at the beginning is wrong, it's a good theory but it's not what is happening... mIRC does not hog the cpu with an infinite "hard-loop" nor does it heighten it's priority in any way similar to winrar... everything still runs fine and at normal speed... (except mirc of course, and the cmd-box from 1st post)

edit:(this is just what is understood from behavior, final word would have to come from either khaled or someone with some good programming knowledge of how it all works)
