The problem is that the rules are too long to be contained in one message. How can I make the script break the rules down into several messages, yet have those messages sent consequtively to the user without them having to type !rules more than one time?

So after one second goes by, part one will be messaged, after two seconds, part two, and so on.

I think it's easier to have a small .txt file than starting a half (or even quarter) dozen timers and make mirc process them .. matter of preference, I guess I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
