jonesy44: I beg to differ. You see, the parser will run much quicker when you don't re-use $nick & $chan over and over; it will keep on referring back to it's event and reading the identifiers over and over. However, setting them to static variables makes the parser run much quicker because now the call is set in stone, no longer being retrieved but inserted. It's not going to be leaps and bounds quicker, but quicker nonetheless ;)

Also, if you are referring to the %m variable and using $chr(44), it's merely this way because you can't use multiple ',' (commas) within $iif(), such as: $iif(1 == 1,First Response:No, you can't have that comma,Second Response: You can't have this one, either). But, that's obviously something learned (syntax-wise) early on, so I'm sure you know that :)
