In the script I inherited, I see a mixture of "msg ...." and "/msg ....". Is one form preferred over the other, and if so, why? Here are some examples: if ($did == 11) { /msg #marac !last5 } if (%needreply != $null) { msg #MARAC ,2SPECIAL NEED [ $+ %readline $+ ]: %needreply } Jim Reisert http://www.ad1c.us/

You can remove them to clean up the script if you like, or leave them and they won't hurt anything. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
