Sorry to be so lame, can you tell me what I need to do to back off?

Sorry, I don't know. This is what it says at the top of the script:
/* AmIRC Reconnect by Ariel Magnum Version 1.1
Introduction :
AmIRC's internal reconnect is pretty lame in that if the
modem/stack drops it doesnt work.Could have easily been
fixed by using a retry value but I guess nobody's perect.
This script solves this problem.
Features :
· Configurable
· Joins ALL previously joined channels
· Perfect if your away from the computer
Installation :
1. Copy to the AmIRC rexx directory.
2. Enter into the Connect Event :
reconnect.amirx
3. Disable the internal AmIRC Auto Reconnect to server
from the "User modes" menu.
4. Set your timeout.This is the time a connect should last.
5. Set your retries.If your ISP is busy frequently then bump this up
When I'm disconnected, this script runs as many times as necessary to
reconnect. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Thanks for your help ;)
