So the format would look like this: Peter (username) Skinner (password) +alias ga1 multi seek 3 1 r f m; seek 5 3 r f m; seek 15 3 r f m; rematch +alias ga2 say Thanks for the game! +alias ga3 say Are you sure you didn't think you were playing checkers? seek 3 1 r f m seek 5 3 r f m seek 15 3 r f m set 1 Peter Robot v.10 set 2 PIV 2.0Ghz - 512mb ram - Cronix Alpha Beta Newbie Blend Gold Edition set 3 Bill Gates is a midget Then I just add the file name to the -icslogon icc2.txt at the end of my commandline. All the above commands are executed as soon as I login, so I can walk away and look at the games in the morning. I do the exact same thing under Windows as I would under Linux. Peter
