Yes it is gouts and colors of people that :p
Later I go to the simplest not need of x alias for the same function in the end ^^

kiri, if I understand you right... yes you can just use one alias to do this.
as an example:

		Code 			
alias AFK { 
  if (!$away) {
    ame is Away $iif(!$1,Gone,$1-)
   .away $iif(!$1,Gone,$1-)
  }  
  else {
    ame is back from being Away - $awaymsg
    .away
  }
}	

I personally find no real use for an away snippet to be honest, but a-lot of people like to use them so to each their own.
anyways it's just one more way of learning msl.
So keep trying an never stop learning.....

Aha2Y and newbie28, you don't have to use any snippet. mIRC has an in-built box where you can input a quit message of your choice under mIRC Options -> IRC -> Quit message

I do not see much use for over two aliases $away you can see if when you throw our alias you are away or not and act accordingly

I just don't see the point in using a global var in something like this. Look into $awaymsg instead of using a global var. An yes away messages are annoying.

		Code 			
alias AFK { 
  ame is Away $iif(!$1,Gone,$1-)
  away $iif(!$1,Gone,$1-)
}  
alias ImBack {
  ame is back from being Away - $awaymsg
  away
}

Aha2y has a point, but you can manage such channels manually through a regulated "amsg" alias or within the away snippet itself. A relatively simple snippet that would track any blacklisted channels and bypass it accordingly.

It can be very annoying for others to see your away/back spam in channels. And since its a Automatic you don't have control of where it will be send to, Think about service channels.
