you don't need to use the XML table though, you can use their (very easy to use) forms...

when you have entered the command the usuall "this isn't reconized as a command, if you meant to send text, put a double // in front of it" message appears. This is because you do not make it clear to the ChatWndSendMessage event that you have handled the text. In other words, return a value (in this case an empty string) if you have handled the command.

No, I didn't meant that. Read carefully what I suggested ;) (or slap me for being not so clear instead :p your choice :D)

What I meant was: provide a way to set a default output option (you got that). But you do not need a full blown GUI for this. You can easly use the submenus for this, since it only will be a selection from a list anyways.

The way you could implement it is to let the user select his global default output via the contactlist Plus! menu.

And as a added feature, you can let the user select another temporary currency output via the plus! menu in a conversation window. But this selection would only be temporary for that specific convo window. Aka: it will overwrite the global default setting.

EDIT: forget about the above... You can't have menu items ticked with a tickmark in Plus! (something for Patchou to add? Will be used a lot if it was available I'd imagine). I assumed you could have menu items ticked...

---------------

Also, whatever you do, don't save it in a file, save it in the registry. Using a file for only 1 settings is a bit over the top.
