Heres the existing code: Code: alias unlock_all { prop # unlock Topic prop # unlock Onjoin prop # unlock Pass prop # unlock Category prop # unlock Pics prop # unlock Ownerkey prop # unlock Hostkey prop # unlock Memberkey } Any feedback or comments is great appreciated. Thanks in advance - J Last edited by Buggs2008; 12/08/08 07:25 PM.

Your code could be shortened a bit this way: Code: alias unlock_all { tokenize 32 Topic Onjoin Pass Category Pics Ownerkey Hostkey Memberkey prop # unlock $* } but I very much doubt it's faster. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
