Ok i've got this code to make the words "scroll" in the status window on startup. Just take notice of the echo.

==========
echo -s 8-=[Discover]=- %logoshort 8-=[Yourself]=-
echo -a 
echo -s 0For all problems and questions please join #Henevien-Vesitezel 9(Nightvale)
echo -s 
echo -s 11Send All Comments and Bugs to nightvale@forpresident.com

echo 9 -s $read($mircdirscript/insquotes.txt)
echo 12 -s 8-=[Discover]=- %logoshort 8-=[Yourself]=-
echo 12 -s 
echo 12 -s 11Send any suggestions and bugs to 8Nightvale11 in 0~ * >>> 9#Henevien-08Vesitezel 0<<< * ~
echo 12 -s 

=============

The effect is very nice except for this. It's pretty slow especially on slower systems. Is there any way i can speed this up and yet retain the same nice scrolling effect? Could echo-ing a dot(.) instead of  make it any faster? Doesn't seem to make any difference the last I tried.

Echoing colours slows things a tad. If you have a background image then expect it to echo alot slower.
