A friend suggested I look into /fopen,$fread and /fclose to manipulate the file whilst working on it. I can open window, but I can't seem to write the data to it. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to do it.

This would also happen (with both /filter and /loadbuf) if you created the @window with the -s switch (sort the incoming lines automatically).

You must have either played with the command switches or window switches as mentioned above. [02:16] * Titanic has quit IRC (Excess Flood)
