i have made a script that i do not want to run, as it can seriously damage my cpu if i made it wrong. i preferr to post it here because i am not very good with batch, and my freinds aren't either
i am also not too experienced with the fileappend command
do NOT try to run this code. i first need to perfect it.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do with this AHK. Why don't you try running one command, then ensure that the command ran the way you intended it to, then add another command to it, and so on...

Note that calling FileDelete immediately before FileAppend sometimes will not work. It seems that sometimes AHK appends before the file is removed. You should probably put a sleep command between the two.

Out of curiosity, why will this script damage your CPU?

Also (on a pickier note), I would make your script a bit more readable by putting the information that will be written out into a variable first... like:

i am using it with ahk because i plan to make it into an executable that i can move around that will automatically set up the xp net-send messenger service and use an easy ahk interface to send the messages. i said not to run it because i know that command promp is very powerful and i dont know how to use it very well. thank you for the advise, i will start to work on it some more right away.

it is supposed to prompt you for ip's and messages to leave, and then make a batch file to send them. if you do not understand look at this

You've got a lot of gosub commands in there. Especially for something this simple, you could use MsgBox, rather than using GUI (at least for your confirmation box).

Under your "no" label... Exit will exit the script, so your hotkey will no longer work after that. I'm guessing you want Return. To make that work, you'll probably need to rearrange the design of your AHK... are you planning on running your compiled ahk (the exe) on each computer more than once? I'm doubting that you will want to, so this should probably just be a script, rather than a hotkey tied to the appskey.

Exit command in a label... does this help?:

Not sure how many questions you had, so maybe I didn't answer all of them.
