OK, I have the notices working fine...but the raw commands on the topic confuse me.

Code:
raw 332:*:{
  echo -a $chan 14[14 $+ $time(hh:nntt) $+ 14] 7* Topic is ' $+ $1- $+ '
  halt
}

raw 333:*:{
  echo -a $chan 14[14 $+ $time(hh:nntt) $+ 14] 7* $1- 
  halt
}


this returns:

[04:09pm] * Topic is 'MyNick #Channel Topic'
[04:09pm] * MyNick Channel TopicSettersNick 1057336873
