Forums Scripts & Popups Shorter way of writting this?

OK.. At first I thought it was due to the fact that you weren't double evaluating the variable in the echo, but when I tried your suggestion, both with and without the double evaluation it didn't work. I don't know why it's not working there, yet it does work in scripts like my Scrolling Titlebar where it's used to track the time elapsed in a query window on a query by query basis.
