function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
    if (/^\/([^\s\/]+)\s*([\s\S]*)$/.exec(Message) !== null) {
        switch (RegExp.$1.toLowerCase()) {
        case 'ponder':
            try{
                return rn_txt[Math.round((rn_txt.length-1)*Math.random())];   
            }catch(e){
                MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Error!", "Something bad happened! :o");
                Debug.Trace(e.message);
                return "";
            }
        }
    }
}

function OnGetScriptCommands(){
    return '<ScriptCommands><Command><Name>ponder</Name><Description>What will you think of today?</Description></Command></ScriptCommands>';
}

Why is there a need to store the Script Commands in a variable then return it? Why not just return the string?
