It is printing in orange because "7" is the first digit in 7.57 and "CTRL+K 7" is orange. Code //echo $version $beta 6.35 prints: 6.35 7.57.2183 prints: 7.57 2183 7.57.2269 prints: 2269 (in orange text) Code ; This test works in 7.57.2183 and older. Newer versions give this issue: alias test1 { ; * /echo: insufficient parameters (line 4, remote.ini) echo $version } alias test2 { ; "..." printed in orange echo $version ... } alias test3 { ; a 7.58 echo a $version } alias test4 { echo 4. this prints black echo 4.8 this prints red in 7.57.2269 and newer echo 4.8. this prints black } Quote Beta v7.57.2269 changes: 1.Item 36, https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/266054 2.Item 37, https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/266138 3.Item 38, added. 4.Item 39, fixed. 5.Item 40, https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/264540 This change affects $comchan(), if isop/isvoice/ishelp/isowner, and the channel Command Editbox handling of modes. ... 36.Fixed /window -r not restoring a hidden non-min/max window. 37.Changed $ctime() to return $null for invalid input and to handle commas as separators. 38.Added support for IRCv3 message-tags token and msgid feature. 39.Fixed $N parameter bug that caused inconsistent handling of text appended to the $N parameter, such as text that contained numbers or dashes. 40.Fixed handling of channel nickname mode 'q' in some contexts.

The reason for this is that some commands and identifiers were updated in v7.58 to correctly handle both integers and floats in their parameters. Previously, some features, like /echo, were inconsistent and thought a floating point number was plain text, so were not evaluating it correctly. I can change this back for /echo for backward compatibility but, in general, most features have been standardized to handle numbers whether integer or float.
