I have set up paging and Com channels on MC 3.17 like explained in 'http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?bbsubject_id=632&page=1#2570'; and alittle extra. But the problem seems that I get the first message and everything gets added BEFORE it. I have posted what I have gotten.

A51 Page> At 4:04pm, In a page-pose to you, Kitana snugs, "Hi and Bye. Gotta run!"
A51 Page> At 4:05pm, Orca1 pages, "we need Candy to give medical aid to Molander" to you.
A51 Page> At 4:05pm, In a page-pose to you, Bobcatt hrms as it get very quite today.
A51 Page> At 4:02pm, Orca1 pages, "hi" to you.

Hmm - the first line for the notepad is special, in that it creates it.

You might be able to work around it temporarily by somehow creating the notepad window first (with a blank line), eg. from a script.

I have added this as bug #422.

Hiya..
jsut tested yrou idea about adding a script line at logon:

/ world.AppendToNotepad "Trigger: A51_Pages", "" + vbcrlf

and it seems to work but it need the 'Trigger:' for it to work.. still thanks for the suggestion Mr Gammon.
