I guess I'll use Split-Message then...
Toast Slice will be the codename of the function

As for things about the delimiter... what about this?
Whatever the user sets as the delimiter, if they need the delimiter to literally appear in their messages, they need to type it twice. Just like you need to type //nick in a conversation window for /nick to literally show. For example, if someone sets $ as the delimiter and he wants to show "I bought a new car today" "It cost me $40000" then he has to set "I bout a new car today$It cost me $$40000" as Hop message. This should be easier to remember...

As for the default delimiter, I currently have in mind one backslash \ - I guess many programming languages have escape sequences begining with it for a reason (though I don't know what reason it is )...

Anyone?
