I want to be able to store tells or whatnot in a text file or variable, and then type in a command like... history tells to have it read out the text file/variable they are stored in, and have the text file/variable reset whenever I log in/out of the mud so it's fresh every time... I think it'd probably be pretty easy to do with a variable, I just need a bit of help getting it done, primarily, just finding a command to capture a line of text into a variable

Also, if there was a way to limit it to the last 20 or so things, that'd be great, no use in having it scroll hundreds of lines

Try this. All you have to do is type history for a recount of all the tells you've received:

The %additem function adds to the end of the list. So the #DELNITEM will simply remove the most recently added. To maintain chronological order use "#IF (%numitems(@TellHistory))>20) {#DELNITEM TellHistory 1}" instead of "#DELNITEM TellHistory 21". To use a reverse chronological order replace %additem with %push.

Ah yeah, that's right, I forgot I was adding to the end instead of the beginning. Thanks vij
