well while I was waiting for the reply I started unloading ini's and loading one at a time.
I came up with this this as the culprit. An alias I had started but had to stop to take care of something else. There is of course a broken bracket at the bottom. It was for a hangman script that I was trying to change to allow for spaces to be shown for a couple of word handman word.

/hangit {
set %broken.appear $str(-,$len(%broken.word))
set %broken.appear2{
if
}
var %l = 1
while (( %l <= $len(%broken.word) )) {
set $+(%,broken.letter.,%l) $leftind(%broken.word,%l)
set $+(%,broken.appear.,%l) -
inc %l
}
echo 4 %broken.appear
}
