Hi, "wait 0 secs" really should be "wait 0 secs with messages" to have the effect you want.
Stripping the NULLs is an interesting idea, but there is no way to do this inside of HC as far as I know and removing _ALL_ NULLs might break the stack. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 From 15th August, we'll have time for new projects!
