      Start Windower twice, log in on different chars. Either on one or two machines. Did you have anything more specific in mind?

          Get an Addon called Send, it allows you to send commands to a specific instance running on the same machine.

          //send character command

            On this note I cant seem to get any command that has 2 words in it to work 

            Example :  /console send mule /ma "Cure II" Main
            or //send mule /ja "Mana Wall" <me>

             

            however if its a one word command it works such as 

            //send mule /ma "Cure" Main

             

            so that might be a hindrance *shrug*

            Get an Addon called Send, it allows you to send commands to a specific instance running on the same machine.

            //send character command

              You cant use target (<me>) commands when using send.  Its best to use the name of the character you are sending to for self target stuff.  The reason for this is ffxi converts the <me> to the name of the character sending the command so if main box name is George and your sub box name is Fred, the command //send Fred /ja "Mana Wall" <me> becomes /ja "Mana Wall" George.

               

              You can get around this problem with spellcast or lua, but that has it's own problems.

              That's not accurate, <me> works fine. It's not converted before it's sent, it's only converted at the receiving end (that's where it's entered, FFXI doesn't even see it before then).

               

              The reason the above doesn't work is because of the quotes. Use single quotes (') instead, then it should work:

              //send mule /ja 'Mana Wall' <me> 

               

              And both Spellcast and Shortcuts provide very easy ways to get around using quotes altogether:

              //send mule manawall

                Well then, I stand corrected.  I've always had a problem with <me> targeting using send, I guess my problem is in spellcast or something, as I use spellcast to send magic commands to my whm mule.

                  Most issues in spellcast with <me> are because of the <> in spellcast in most cases you actually replace <me> with &lt;me&gt;

                    Send needs to be loaded on both characters. Then try this:

                    //send MuleName cure3 MainName
                    

                    You'll need Spellcast or Shortcuts loaded for this to work, otherwise you have to use the full command)

                      If i type that in game it works but it wont let me set it to a macro. Ive not played in years so havent learned/used spellcast is there anyway for me to set it to a macro till i learn how to use spellcast?

                      You can write it in a macro, only you'll need to change it a bit (macros have issues with //):

                      /console send MuleName cure3 MainName
