I play a mud that idles and logs me out after 5-6 minutes of no activity. Sometimes things are slow but I want to watch the help channels without being logged out. I looked at the timer, but there seems to be no way to send a blank though. This would ensure I don't idle out, without causing unwanted poses or spam codes. Any way I can do that?

Maybe send to script and Send "" (probably won't work)

Or perhaps you could send a non-spammy command like time.

Actually, that seems to work perfectly.

Sending an empty message using:


Send ""


... appends a newline to the message, so that is like hitting <enter> while connected.
