Sorry, I wasn't on at the time. But I checked the chat log (And took a look at the server) and your messages were there so it did work :) I was surprised to see my code in the chatlog ;) (Not sure if you meant to paste it in or not lol )

I'm trying to re-write my RapidQ chat in QB64, and your examples will help me figure some things out. Thanks for sharing. I'll share mine when done too.

Thanks very much! I do have the habit not commenting a lot of my code, so sorry about that, if you have questions feel free to ask.
And I'd love to see it when you're done.

Ooops! Sorry about that, tried the paste command, and that was what was in my buffer, still, because I had copied and pasted the code, into qb64 first, (to run the client),. Actually I had pasted it into a text file first.
I had misunderstood what the paste command did,.and thought it would just paste the previous text, or something,..Just now I tried again, and realized, it pasted, some text I had in my buffer,

Ah, no problem, just surprised me a bit. Is there a better way I could word it in the help dialog?
On another note, I'll have a updated the Client. Nothing major, but it'll LTRIM$() any spaces if you're sending a command (I noticed that a few people, including myself, had tried to send a command with a space in front of the '/' resulting in it being sent as a message).

Probabley most people understand what "clipboard" is, more then I did, in fact until just now, I never realized, exactly what it is, I all ways thought of that as "my buffer", but a short note , like, , "make sure you know what it in your clipboard, before you paste it" I realized what was happening, because, later, when I typed the
--- Code: --- /paste
--- End code ---
, my e-mail password, showed up at the prompt, as the text to be sent,! So it finally dawned on me, cause just before, I had logged into my e-mail, I can't remember the password, so I have it in a file, on the computer, and when I login, I select the text,(password), and right click the mouse, then paste it into the login, but I never knew that is what they mean by "clipboard", Some time back, when I noticed, in somae windows program, it said,"coppied to clip board", well I wanted to see what had been copied to the "clipboard" and spent hours searching, for "clipboard", to no avail,! ...I know this may sound riduculesly stupid, but it is true,.. another program I use, dose have a "copy to clip board" button, and a "paste from clipboard" button, but up until now, I never realy understood what and where "clipboard" is,...like I said I always just thought of it as a buffer, when I right click the mouse, it just says "copy", (linux), or "paste", nothing about "cliboards"!,... ??? anyway, I seriously doupt, most people would have trouble understanding, your instructions, embarrasing as it is , I am probably the one exception,

In Linux Copy/Paste is actually handled from program to program, there is no buffer like Windows (From my understanding). So in Linux, you probably won't see ''copy to clipboard' etc. contrary to Windows where the term clipboard is used frequently.
And fair enough, I'll have it note in the help to check before you paste lol ;) I also need to update it to properly handle end-line characters, so I'll do both at the same time.
