it changed my status and showed some text i typed , it showed it in the main msger after i changed it in the pop up panel, then resette to normal again , i typed in an open freinds msger pane /xhopcc and it brought up the dialog/panel i added some text in the panel and put 4 secs i saw the text and status change for a few secs in main msger once and nothing more , i was thinking by setting seconds it would run a full cycle until i exited msn msger , or change it 5 times as i changed it to from the 1 time in main panel to 5 times, still think im doing something wrong or not using the commands properly
