| Okay, this is a really, really dumb question about plugins.
I captured the text of a plugin that Mr. Gammon posted to another forum and put it into Notepad. The plugin is an idle-protector, to keep the MUSH from hoofing you off when you have been idle for too long. I saved it with the proper name, and "installed" it with the plugin option from the File menu.
To use the plugin, I am supposed to write something like this:
onidle 25 01 @pemit me=You have been idle 25 minutes.
But... WHERE DO I PUT THAT COMMAND? If I just type it in the window, MUSHclient thinks I want to send it to the world, and obviously the world doesn't know what to do with it. I can't find a place in any menu which allows me to give my plugin arguments to process. What am I missing?

| Try using
OnIdle .....
<note the caps, they are important>
This should call the MushClient alias correctly.
As a side note, Nick: If MushClient requires following capitalization for aliases, it probably should allow 2 aliases such as:
abc
ABC
Right now it seems to give an error that the alias already exists when you try to enter the second one. | | Top |

| Yes, it was OnIdle literally. :)

Good point. Fixed in 3.27. |
