I don't know much about tcl - but I managed to write a script which would once an hour, take the text from a php script and set the topic with the text in that file. The php file would change automatically depending who was on air (the bot is in a channel for a radio station).

It was running fine for about a month untill the other day (I have made no change to the bot what so ever) I get this error message on the partyline every time it tries to access the file:

Tcl error [autoupdate]: Your terminal lacks the ability to clear the screen or position the cursor.

Is it a problem I can fix? The bot uses lynx to access the data, with the line:

set file [open "|lynx -dump http://www.location.of/file" r]

Thanks,

David
