Outputting message instead of description in mIRC Options

[Iceman_B]

As the topic title says, how do I accomplish this?
I'm using foobar and AMIP
I'll sum up my configuration below.

mIRC 6.21
foobar 0942
AMIP dll 2530
AMIP configurator v0.21 or 1.6(dunno which is it)

I'm using File Mapping transport because DDE isn't working.

The preset i'm using:
//describe $active now playing: $if(%4,$if(%1,$if(%2,%1: $trunc(%4,128) - %2,%name),%name),%name) $if($mat(%min%sec,^0+$),[Stream],[%pm:%ps/%min:%sec])

mIRC alias:
alias /foo /dde mplug announce

What I want to have is instead of a /me action a /say action.
If I replace //describe with //say, nothing gets outputted and instead a message on the status screen appears "* You are not on a channel"

FIXED:

I had to use this:

//msg $active %player %ver now playing: $if(%4,$if(%1,$if(%2,%1: $trunc(%4,128) - %2,%name),%name),%name) $if($mat(%min%sec,^0+$),[Stream],[%pm:%ps/%min:%sec])

Since the preset command gets called from the remote section, /say doesn't work(see mirc help file).
Instead, I tried //msg $active and that seems to do the trick.

So theoretically, if you put the /foo alias in the alias section, //say should work as well.
Now to work on the colors
