that's the thing...there was no global.txt and i was just using /write -c global.txt (for some reason../write global.txt won't create files for me...but write -c will) and it still couldn't write it. and there is no "c:\program" file because mirc isn't in the program files folder...its c:\nx2kii (also...i had a friend of mine try it just out of curiosity..and he got the same thing i did and he's using a different script)
