You're right. This is a chat script (much like the chatterbox). It takes the latest 10 messages and prints to screen and it stores the rest for logs later on. I removed the unlink (no idea what it does/did but it was in the example I used) and the problem is still here (you probably knew that). I must be able to tie %chat to both objects otherwise it's useless, I'll look into using it as an array.

Thank you for your help!
