Changed parsing method for most identifiers so that your custom identifiers will now work even if they begin with the same letters as internal identifiers. Directory related identifiers have not been updated, eg. $mircdir, $getdir, $cd, etc. since many widely used scripts append text directly to them, ie.: //splay $file="Select wave:" $mircdirsounds\ Instead of using the (better) format: //splay $file="Select wave:" $mircdir $+ sounds\ $cd is used in on SERV to return the currently selected directory, and appears in /help $cd "The only excuse for making a useless script is that one admires it intensely" - Oscar Wilde
