I should probably search more extensively through the functions, but is there a function in Mushclient that shows the absolute pixel value of the four corners of the screen (that is, four corners of the world window)? It'd be -very- useful for my GUI creation to respect window resizing! 
Thanks in advance!
If I find the answer before someone else I'll edit it in if anyone is interested. Mushclient GUI possibilities are making me excited!

world.GetWorldWindowPosition()
From the helps:

Lua notes
In Lua it returns a table with four entries, like this:
top 0
height 479
left 0
width 669
Lua has an optional argument which is the window number to examine. The first (main) window is window 1.
If you do Window -> New Window then you will get more windows, these will be 2, 3, 4 and so on.
You can use GetInfo (235) to find how many windows are currently open.
If you specify a window that does not exist you will get a nil result.
When using Lua the function GetWorldWindowPosition can take an optional second argument. If true, the world window position is reported in screen co-ordinates (that is, relative to the top-left corner of your monitor) rather than the default of relative to the main MUSHclient window. This lets you write plugins (like graphical status bars) that know where the world window is actually on the screen, so they can be drawn to be nearby.
Return value
Returns a string in the form:
left,top,width,height
eg. "0,0,669,479"
For Lua, returns a table containing:
top=(value)
height=(value)
left=(value)
width=(value)

New question: Is it the case that hotspots really don't work if not in a plugin?
This link makes me think they should work (last post by N.G.) : http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=8963&page=2
However, my work with the bastards implies that they will not work, unless they are indeed in a plugin... grrr to say the least. Feel free to look over my code if you are skeptical.
On that note, willing to take suggestions to make my code prettier
Edit: Tested it within note and it returns message only allowed in a plugin so I guess that answers my question (unless there is some crazy workaround)

Yeah, I'm on 4.43, about 2 hours ago.
I worked around it by putting it in a plugin but I dislike the solution...
edit: and now downloading MC 4.55
edit2: and to be clear, I render the background (in this case "hot_panel") in a separate script so that wasn't the issue, problem solved time to fry some bigger fish now.
Thanks, thanks and thanks.

For the flags, if you look at the helpfile you will see that each flag as an associated # value. Each of these numbers is unique, and when adding any combination of the numbers, they create another unique number. So if you want to have multiple flags, add the value for each flag you want together and put that ## in as your flag value.
Example: enabled 1 + omitfromoutput 4 = 5. So 5 will omit from output AND enable the trigger.
Hope that helps
