Re your x9 issue, it isn't that x9 is broken, it's that what follows // is a comment. You could use a different string delimiter, but then you will get two extra characters on the front and one at the end:
*Script Runfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]"D:\programs\Jetico\Jetico Personal Firewall\fwsrv.exe"///=fwsrv! Normally within a script, use of an alternate string delimiter in a variable assignment does not put the delimiters into the string, but in this case, everything following the first = is going into x9 (except comments apparently.)
