my question are:

[*]what if when it tries to navigate to the url, the connection timed out, what to use to have it refresh if it happens and keep going on there is nothing wrong?

[*]as i tried n it timed out, the script paused, how to unpaused it without having to restart the script n open another IE?

[*]in lesson 10 that comes with the installation, it opens up a bot that start the bot, and the ie was actually in the box, so if let's say i wanna combine those 2 script, how do i do that? been trying with no luck...

combine here in terms of, to get all the search forum script into the box that lesson 10 have, and use the hotkey in lesson 10 to start searching the forum. so everytime i press the hotkey, it search.

can some one guide me trough this pls...

thanks
