In effect all this script is doing is putting in some additional functions. I'll need to learn a bit more about perl and irssi's approach to it in particular, but I think you are trying to make things a bit more difficult than it needs to be. Once I do get something working, I will report back to the list. But I'm a slow learner, grin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
