define anging up, and provide a screen cap of this elusive creature so we can recognize it when we see it.

how is it  Hanging up?  are you using swath with the light bulb button pushed in? 
 (most common fix, had t' try for it...) 
Ok, more possibilities?  Is this the Pack 2 World trade script?  are you setting the attack pref. to 'pay tolls' (always have problems w/ that)
Do you have a scanner?  holo preferably? 
Are your X tra commands in a good line?  (don't try spaces, leads to problems too.)   like use;  f1*CD/#  at the most..

Also, what about a completed ZTM? Is not a really good script to use though, every time you turn around it jettisons your loads and in DE's say goodbye to your beloved turns, cause it is all about turns at the buffet line baby.

2_worldtrade doesn't need a ztm. You can use spaces as long as your extra command str doesn't end w/ a space, iirc. It's a good script for starting in an unlim...

You can't have both it and swath haggle, tho. If you're going to use worldtrade turn off swath's haggle, keeps you from warping all over the universe on accident or, sometimes, freezing.

You do need a holoscanner for it to work reliably.

Make sure you've got cn9 = space when you start, allkeys can botch things up.

As for "best" world trade script... depends on your needs. In an unlim I'd run worldtrade for... maybe... 2 or 3 minutes at the start to get enough cash for holds, scanner and busting up. That's it. For turns games I'd do it by hand... I have yet to see a smart WT script (altho it could be done).

Next time tho when it hangs up type $st and copy&paste the triggers from your WT and put them here. Would help us to isolate the problem.

Most of the time it will be because swath's autohaggle is turned on. Turn it off and it works great.
