Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I see it now. And I can see what the other pieces of code in that //REGION Default Parameters section of the .txt are accomplishing too looking at them that way. Thanks.
Of course, having said that, I don't think I've solved my problem. As I mentioned, the code works in a new, fresh module that I'm testing stuff in. I just transfered the code to Escape From Smalcatraz and nothing happens. Makes sense, because I seem to recall I tried both varieties of the CharacterApplyStatus call, with and without the 'force' part. I may just be missing something obvious or my mod might be screwed up. I'll check another time.
