Watch your batch file flow control. There's an omission in my example that
causes the flag file to be created eventhough the page was answered.

So you need to put a "goto end" line at the end of the "if
errorlevel"'s:

icechat.bat:
==============================
...
...
...
if errorlevel 10 goto leavemsg
goto end

...
...
...

:end
==============================

The [filenew] and [delete] tokens don't support external translation
characters (eg. %k) so multinode conflicts are possible eg. if there's any
flag file deletion delay between multiple and/or consecutive chat requests.

A workaround could involve subsituting yellreq.mec with
yellreq.mec, or convoluted batch file interaction(s) but I'm
too lazy.

This problem is easily solved with MEX, and is a non issue on single line systems.
