I have a quick question...I consider myself very good with binds...not just for my Heroes but my MM's as well but that's beside the point. I know there is a way to have a power execute and have another que to fire off after completion of power 1..I just cant for the life of my 50 remember the command line....can anyone help.
many thanks :-)

I assume this is what you're looking for:
/bind <key> "powexecauto <power 2>$$powexecname <power 1>"

all right question. I was wondering if it is possibel to have binds that let you quickly switch between the normal chat channels. I have a bind to go to the global channels, learned that one from kind folks on Dratz. I tried to make a bind having the "doh! I type slow" message show up and then my chat show up in SG channel. then i tried to make a bind to just begin iin SG. no luck. Is this possible and how would i type it out?
thanks.

The command /chatset <channel letter> sets the current local chat channel. The channel letters being the letters in the tiny tabs above the input window.
Try this bind:
/bind k "chatset s$$startchat$$afk Doh! I type slow"
Edit: I had an epiphany and figured out the error which prevented the bind I posted earlier from working. The above bind works fine.
I'm back with some more bind questions.
I'm really loving that rolling bind where I say something new eachtime I hit a certain key. So i'm wondering is it possible to make it when I " Teleport Friend " each time I have a new target I say something different? and what would be the command to get that rolling? please and thank you.

Well if you understand loading a second file to make rolling binds, then all you need is:
<key> "group Teleporting you to me...$$powexec_name Teleport Friend$$bindloadfile C:\<path>\filename.txt"
and in the loaded file use the same command and key to execute and load the next.

Also, have the key lshift+lbutton, lcontrol+lbutton, lalt+lbutton and all you don't even have to deal with the targeting reticle, and just click a location.

Its me again!
I'm having a problem with a rolling bind i was trying to get to work.
I have tp friend in slot o in tray 1 anyhow I was wanting to make it so that everytime I activate that power to tp someone I am saying something differnt.
how ever when I try to hit the power it doesnt activate it it says the bind, but power doesnt start.
I can click on the power with my mouse and get it to work but it wont say the bind. So i'm wondering if ive done something wrong when I set the files. Or if perhaps i'm not able to do it this way with a Teleport power.
these are my files.
0 "powexecslot 0$$team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
0 "powexecslot 0$$team $target Time for take off! Hope you trust the $name Exspress!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp3.txt"
0 "powexecslot 0$$team Countdown Begins! 1.. 2.. 3.. $target Lifts off!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp4.txt"
0 "powexecslot 0$$team $target Listen to Justiceradio.net for your Traveling tunes!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp5.txt"
0 "powexecslot 0$$team Picking up $target insuring a safe arrival!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp6.txt"
0 "powexecslot 0$$team Are you comfortable with a woman behind the wheel $target? Cuz i'm driving!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp7.txt"

There is no slot 0. Try powexecslot 10 instead. 
Hmmm... where should I start.
First off, you may want to read or refer to The Incomplete and Unofficial Guide to /bind (1.1). Very informative.
But to get your "Binds" to work they you want it, you can try the following: (unable to test since I'm at work.)
You need to put this in your current/main keybind file that you load:
powexec_slot 10 "team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
or to manually add it your self, type the following in the input line:
/bind powexec_slot 10 "team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
Then create these following files (if you haven't done so already.)
Filename tp1.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
Filename tp2.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team $target Time for take off! Hope you trust the $name Exspress!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp3.txt"
Filename tp3.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team Countdown Begins! 1.. 2.. 3.. $target Lifts off!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp4.txt"
Filename tp4.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team $target Listen to Justiceradio.net for your Traveling tunes!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp5.txt"
Filename tp5.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team Picking up $target insuring a safe arrival!$$+down+up$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp6.txt"
Filename tp6.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team Are you comfortable with a woman behind the wheel $target? Cuz i'm driving!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp7.txt"
Filename tp7.txt
powexec_slot 10 "team WARNING! $target is being transported!$$bind_load_file c:\cohbinds\tp\tp1.txt"

for myself I would save the slot for something else. change powexecslot 10 to powexec_name recall_friend. recall friend recharges quick enough that you don't really need to check and see if it's recharged.

I tried 10 how ever it still only says the bind but does not activate the power.
The weird this is I did this for fortitude(9 sayings) and Adrenelin Boost(5sayings) these work like clockwork, when I hit the slot they are in the saying goes off and the power activates.
I already have tp friend on a key infact its numpad3 as a tell but I want to switch it so should i rewrite the bind as
numpad3 "powexecname Teleport friend$$team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
and hopefully this will get it working so I can have a new saying at each teleport friend activation?

Your original binds were correct except for the powexecslot 0 which should be changed to powexecslot 10. As for why it did not work, I have to ask how may trays do you have up, where is tray 1 (the one containing Recall Friend) located at the very top, the bottom or the middle (if 3 trays are up)? Don't do TEK_NO_BURNS binds, they are incorrect because powexec_slot 10 is placed outside the quotes where a declaration of a key should be instead.
Using powexec_name is a better alternative, as it's not reliant on where a power is on your tray. As per your example the bind should look something like this:
numpad3 "powexecname Recall Friend$$team $target prepare yourself for one heck of a ride!$$bindloadfile c:\cohbinds\tp\tp2.txt"
As the power's name is Recall Friend, not Teleport Friend.
i'll try that once I can go into game long enough to try it.
just so i'm doing it correctly I should probably put numpad3 "powexecname Recall Friend is in my saved files right? for each saying i'm tryingto say.
YAy!for me! and thanks for all the help oddly enough changing it to numpad instead of using slot10 workd dont see the difference there as to why it didnt work in a slot but oh well least its working now! thanks
I have 3 trays up descending 321 I rarely change trays and just use my mouse to click whats in tray 3 and 2 since most are toggles anyhow or temp powers, and not my main ones.

here's a helpful hint too. I put all my binds in a directory off of C: that way my binds ar just a little bit shorter and less complex C:/1/Ace01.txt
it also allows me to have a bind a few words longer. (in case I feel long winded).

one other thing binds don't like the quotes that are used in word and some other writting programs. those quotes look like this , Not this "". see the difference? you could have a bind that is written perfectly but has the wrong quotes in it and it will not work. Just replace the quotes while in wordpad and you should be fine.

Correct
lol... I just relized that my bind suggestions are all wrong. I forgot to add the "powexecname Recall Friend" to all of them. Sorry for the misinformation.

Thank you so much for the wonderful bind forum, Winza. I'm having troble on useing bind files so if any one can help me it is listed below. It's saved in Mybinds\team1.txt:
t "bindloadfile team2.txt$$ unselect$$ powexecname Deflection Shield$$ teamselect1"
t "bindloadfile team3.txt$$unselect$$ powexecname Deflection Shield$$ teamselect2"
t "bindloadfile team4.txt$$ unselect$$ powexecname Deflection Shield$$ teamselect3"
and so on till team member 8...
it seems to work untill it goes to a new member. It just keeps the same member selected. Any way to fix this?

I think the most likely cause is that you have no path to find 'teamx .txt'. I put all my bind files in a directory C:\CoH so the path is C:\CoH\hero_binds.txt
The command teamselect should have a space between it and the number. Also I'm not sure it will make a difference, but you might want to put the bindloadfile as the last command.

Have you been able to fix this?
If not can you post all of the commands to see why when you get to 8 it wont go to someone new.
