It seems you are using commands but make sure you have enabled commands. Go to Messenger Plus! Preferences>Conversations>General and check the box "Enable commands (messages start with '/')". I don't have MsgPlus! on this computer so tolerate me if the option does not exist there.

Interesting. cholito, you didn't misunderstand me. Because I didn't know too what MattyRid said.

In my opinion, Plus! should distinguish sound commands and all other commands. Because Emotion Sounds are Messenger Plus!' most popular feature and have many options special to them (like auto-download, auto-play etc.). So if they are disabled with a simple "disable command" option, it would be a really bad thing like the case of cholito.

Edit: I think commands' purpose must be to ease (or serve another way for) setting options. So Plus! should not use commands for its own features to work. For example /name command make it possible to change display name from a chat window. Some people can still change theirs with disabled commands and with going to WLM's options. Same sense should be implemented for Emotion Sounds. For example sounds should be always sendable from Sound Panel. But if user wants to use commands to send sounds, he can 'enable commands' from option in Preferences.
