ok, try putting this in the script above that line with raw 372 in it.

Code:
raw 372:*:{
  if (!$regex(%a,\s\s)) {
    echo 3 -s MOTD: $replace($parms,$chr(32),$chr(160))
    ; set -nu1 %::text $3- | _doraw $1-
  }
  else {
    echo 4 -s MOTD: $replace($parms,$chr(32),$chr(160))
  }
haltdef
}


This should replace your existing scripted display of MOTD. It should display it in red or green, depending on whether or not the line contains multiple consecutive spaces in it. Let me know if there's any red or green lines displaying the MOTD.
