Oh, that makes sense. I've always just used remote.ini, I just thought loading a second file for "additional commands", to work in the bot, until I move them to the main code, was a good way to manage and moderate what's being added.
I've changed the below, I thought I needed to specify the spaces in the $+ using $chr, that's me learning something new today.
Thanks for your help btw

This bot is definitely coming along.
