Forums Bug Reports on chat strips $chr(1)

in the on chat event, when some1 types something that the first letter is $chr(1) so $1- strips the $chr(1) at the start, so it's a problem when u want to know from a SCRIPT if what he sends it's an action or not, like: if ($1 == $chr(1) $+ action) it won't work becuz $1 will strip the $chr(1) and if he types in the chat /say ACTION blah
or /me blah
it will be the same in the $1-
