If I stack commands by hitting ctrl-enter between lines(this is called "scripting" in some circles, but is not scripting in the MUSHclient sense <g>) only the first line of the echo of it is colorized in my echo color when I send the message. The rest appear in my normal output color. Try opening up a MUSH and typing:

First line[ctrl][enter]
Second line[enter]

With echo on, and you'll see what I mean.

Sounds like a bug. I'll fix it. :)

Ya know, I get something similar to that, when I press ctrl+enter, and have a normal command mixed with a scripted alias, it processes the scripted alias before all the normal commands and sends it first (which can be annoying)

This bug is fixed in 3.11. A similar problem will occur with a trigger that sends more than one line.

Scripts are called while the line is being parsed for aliases, but before it is sent, so this behaviour will occur.
