This Echo Random Kolor Scripting Tool is a scripting aide.

When testing snippets or trying to figure out the proper
identifier and parameters it is often useful to use the
echo command instead of msg/describe etc etc..
Example: //echo $me is scripting mIRC $version

When the first item after the //echo command is an $identifier
and it evaluates to a number the echo command sees it as a color
code. Also if nothing follows this number mIRC displays an error
as in: * /echo: insufficient parameters
Example: //echo $scon(0)

This /erk command was written to address this and also perform
the following task:

• Begins line with :erk: to remind you it is /erk
• Evaluates the the line without the need to type //erk
  when used from the command line.
• Encloses (-e) the line in line separators to help it standout
• Uses a random color to aid in telling when you triggered the
  same line for the zillionth time.

NOTE: This is NOT intended to be left in a script for distribution.
These colors work with the author's settings. Edit it for your use.
