OK, I made a trigger, now on all tells what I receive will be send to notepad, it's handy and very usefully indeed, but it takes some time to start opening notes during the game and in that time you cant focus on game and in PKMuds it mean that you are dead.. :) Alias or script would be cool, which send latest tells into world and even in readable lines... So is this possible to do by using Mush Client? Read tells from notes is fine and it works, but faster is always faster :) Help if you can! :)

Had to reread that several times to get what you meant, but... It doesn't appear as though there is any command to dump the notepad contents back to the world, except from the notepad. However.. It may be possible to employ a text box activex control or some such through scripts and append new stuff to it, this would provide a sort of floating window (in theory), but the only problems with this is that I am not entirely sure how to do it. Well mainly because I want to find one that will let me display different chunks with specific colors for people, etc. if I want to and the only ones available are A) standard textbox, B) richtext box (which would maybe work, but...) and C) some copyrighted thing that does everything I would want, but costs like $49 to purchase and thus probably couldn't be given out as part of a script plugin.

In short there doesn't appear to be any way 'internally' that you can do what you want, but there are some possible secondary options that are more useful that the trapped, non-floating notpad windows in MUSHClient.

Can you explain what you are trying to do here? You can send tells to a notepad window, but now you want them back in the main window, is that it?

You can send them to the notepad window *and* leave them in the main window, would that do it?

You could make a script that kept (say) the last 100 tells in an array (eg. dim last_tells (100) ) and make an alias to recall that. I'm just not sure what you are trying to achieve here, maybe an example would help.
