Hi,
Does TWX see what is not on the screen and action on it?
e.g. When spaces are used to stop screen messages does twx still "see them"....

Not if it's spaces that abort the messages.

Edit: Also note that only messages that are used for triggers are ones to worry about.

TWXproxy basically just checks the current line for triggers and known game texts. The latter is stored in the DB. So if it's not sent by the server (aka aborted via space bar or something), then TWX won't see it.
